I remember the vans. They were built by Reliant, carried 10cwt and were around in the 50s.

I think this scenario happened in many kitchens around Sheffield in the 40s & 50s but as my sisters all started working and extra money came into the house my mother use to hire an electric washing machine on a Saturday morning for 2/6 ( now twelve and a half pence) the hirer brought the machine in a 3 wheeler van and he had to man handle it up ten steps, I can’t remember if he had an assistant, but this technology turned my mothers head as a few months later she had got one on the weekly. Wash day was never the same after that.
