Creda Carefree

Very much competition for the Tricity President. Mid 1970s

More Cookers

This is the first model 1970s Creda Carefree. Although TOL when introduced it lacked some features of its competitors, notably twin control burner

late 1960s Belling

Only 18 inches wide, this burner arrangement was not so practical as some others as the triangular layout rather than L shaped layout did not allow space for an electric kettle or coffee percolator. There is a storage compartment under the main oven. Its also VERY expensive for what it is.

Jackson Topline

I have been staggered by the condition of some of the cookers and ovens I have been posting this month in so much as they appear to have hardly been used they are so clean.

And here is another. This must have been pretty much the last gasp for Jackson in its initial product run - the name was revived in the late 1980s as a supposed TOL brand but it was not a great success. We know this cooker (for I have posted such in my threads before) went on to have ceramic hob and fan oven versions but that was after it has been re-branded Creda.

Cooker Control Box

Not seen this type before, MK are the most common. Flush or surface mounted, this one looks like it was surface mounted

For non UK readers this has long been the method of connecting a cooker (range) to the line from the distribution board/fuse box with a switch to locally completely isolate the cooker from the mains electrical supply, with a socket for a kettle or some other device. The same principle is used today although the switches are now somewhat smaller.

Gas cookers

This is a Newhome model, I believe the company lives on under the Stoves Brand. This is a 1960s model, it appears the burners are at the sides of the oven, what little I know of gas cookers usually has the oven burner at the back

New World

1960s again - its quite unusual to see LPG models, of course they existed (as they still do) just don't often see them

Creda Europa & kitchen

This was one of those "gasp" moments as I have long wanted to get one of these ovens - in its day it was top featured as it had a fan oven with a rotisserie in the second oven/grill chamber - usually it was one or the other, not both. This is the second iteration of this oven, previously it had handles as shown on the Carefrees above and looks to be in particularly good condition. I do not believe the kitchen to be of particular high quality. Well the gasp soon changed to a rather different exclamation when I saw the price, as I consider it rather high to say the least.

Hoover Dryer

It would not be a fresh posting without a Hoover Tumble dryer it seems. I don't know where this fits in the line up with a proud door (this style was dropped around 1980 or so) but it must be much later, early 1990s I am guessing.

Spinarinse

I think from December 1970 - my Mum had one of these and would have been almost from the same time too. It would not be long until these were replaced by the squared off versions. Its expensive - collectors item or not[this post was last edited: 9/7/2015-07:39]

Ahh, the way we used to live

If I am not mistaken this was MFI's cheapie range, late 1990s - hardly the acme of British quality. This is only for the doors/drawer fronts - I expect there will be a stampede LOLOL

This is a bit more like it

Original 1970s kitchen of good quality when installed. The width of that oven housing say only one thing - Moffat. Sadly long gone it would appear. Actually in the first picture you can just see the edge of the Moffat oven which would date this to about 1974/76. I have long wanted one of those Moffat ovens - since about 1974 actually

I was getting very excited when I spotted what I thought was a Hoover 3110 washing machine in the first picture but upon closer examination I think it was an estate agent's (realtor's) picture as all the appliances seem to have been replaced save the AEG fridge, and the rather magnificent hood seems to have gone too.

 

[vacbear58]

Creda Hood

I post loads of Creda ovens and sometimes hobs - here is the matching hood - the first of these I have seen on ebay. Mid 1970s onwards. I am quite tempted to this myself. It came in 60 and 90cm widths

NIB 1970s Bex Bissell

My parents had one of these back in the 1970s although they had been around since the late 1950s or so. I think we have better carpet cleaning options today LOLOL

And here is a little reminder of those of us of "a certain age". I clearly remember this advert from my child hood. It is interesting in that it uses what I might call the "Persil technique" (is was used in several of their advertisements) in that criticism is conveyed not by words but by a look or a frown from one woman to another but picked up by the other woman. The look that says "you have a dirty house/laundry"

A point is proved

Louis and I have had some discussion whether or not this Philips mixer was supplied with dough hooks (of a sort). I had never seen them before Louis mentioned, but apparently they were so I bow to his superior knowledge in the matter

Still a nice little mixer though

Thanks for posting that. Actually it's still no proof of that these were sold this way in the UK, it could have been bought in the NL and later moved to the UK. I still could be wrong ;-)

Talk about Creda cookers, yesterday afternoon in Escape to the country one appeared in the second house. Or perhaps a different brand, but it was a similar stove to the ones you posted here.

Back To the Country

Louis

Thanks to BBC iPlayer I was able to quickly check back. Actually there were two cookers of the type I normally post here - one in the second (small) house and one in the smaller part of the double holiday let.

They are both Tricity Tiaras and are the BOL versions of the Contessa models posted in reply 28 & 29. The first one could actually be contemporary with the one shown in reply 28 - the Tiara was launched in something around 1975 and they were in the halls of residence communal student kitchens when I went to college in September 1976. No timer, no double control ring, and no second oven combined with the grill, even the control panel and knobs were cheaper. This model continued for very many years unchanged, the second is a somewhat later model with slightly different knobs and even more BOL in that it only has three rings instead of four.

PS my goodness how handsome Alistair Appleton looked with the beard.

 

[foraloysius]

Alistair

I missed the one in the mystery house. I didn't watch the whole programme. Just enough to see the cooker in the second house.

I like Alistair Appleton both with and without beard. ;-)

Irons

Just the thing to kick off a collection of irons - the Sunbeam model is quite rare I think

AEG Twin Tub

This could even be late 1950s, it appeared in the 1960 Which washing machine report. Not working but the BIN price cannot be beat. But aside from that, how the HELL can they keep that mini Bendix washer on that small table or stool or what ever it is!
That bin is a 1970s original

Mid 1970s Electra Cooker

This is essentially the last version of the English Electric Rapide 66, sold through Electricity Board showrooms. Its actually quite rare to see these models in white, they were also sold in gold, green and brown
