Very similar Charts but only three legs and like a T at the top if I remember right I was just a kid. I loved the mangle she had outside lol.

Yes mate, the one my mother had was three legged, but the dolly tub in the picture was identical.

My older brother got his thumb caught in the mangle, not the rollers but the cogs on the side….well named “mangle” it certainly mangled histhumb !

Cheers.

  I thought you meant one of these. I had a groundfloor flat which was part of a grand old house. My rental included a cellar where the servants did the laundry. I used to keep hens and pigeons in the cellar. The landlord wasn't greatly pleased.

The copper boiler plus lid were still there in good condition.

My mother used to get hyper when one of these were used: " watch your fingers! watch your fingers!". I've always thought she was over reacting but your story about your brother has made think again.
