poppins Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I remember when we moved into our house on Southey Green Estate in the 50s the men came to paint the bathroom & kitchen they did like a sponge painting design on the walls but they used a rubber gadget with slits in it and just dabbed it all over the walls , it must have been a standard paint job as they did it in all the houses the without asking, then few years ago sponge painting came into style...nothing new to the council back in the 40/50s.

saxon51 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 On is for dry goods and the other is cold and for fresh goods. Is my guess. That's the way I see it too. Larder used as cold storage for fresh foods and fitted with cold slab-shelf usually situated furthest from living and heated areas of the house, and pantry for storage of crockery, pans, tinned and dry goods much the same as modern-day kitchen cabinets.
