Bucket Night and Hand Mangles (what?)


Imagine being bathed in one of these,they were gas heated and the water was real hot!



The old days were one of communial baths and hand washing,I well remember being bathed in very hot tub that really was the container that took all the washing,what I do not remember is what came first,my wash or the clothes wash?

Taken from the web:

does anyone remember what bucket night was? I know my grandparents had a tin bath by the living room fire and a family of 6 took turns for a wash but I've never heard it referred to as that.
