This suburban kitchen dates from the late 1940s. The area is small and compact with gas and electrical appliances, a free-standing cupboard and a pantry. The electric cooker is a 1935 model and was rented from York City Electricity Department. It was quite common to rent larger domestic appliances, as they were expensive to buy. The kitchen cupboard has a display cabinet at the top, a cutlery drawer, a drop-down work surface with storage space, and an enclosed cupboard at the bottom. This convenient storage space saved time walking to the pantry for every pot, pan, plate and cooking ingredient in regular use. The pantry houses a range of convenience foods, which were beginning to become more widely available after the Second World War. Food rationing was still in operation. It ended completely in 1954. [York Castle Museum] Founded in 1938, York Castle Museum is housed in buildings that used to form the prisons. The prison buildings were built throughout the c18th - the county jail between 1701-05 by William Wakefield, the Assize Courts between 1773-77 and Female Prison between 1780-83, both by John Carr (1723–1807). By the c19th these buildings were deemed unsuitable and a new prison, in a Tudor Gothic style, was designed by Peter F Robinson (1776–1858) and George Townsend Andrews (1804–55). York Prison was closed in 1929 and demolished in 1935, leaving behind Clifford's Tower and the c18th buildings which were then repurposed as the museum by Dr John Lamplugh Kirk (1869-1940).

Probably more than any other era in the 1940s we have a big divide between the illustrated ideal kitchens and what people really had.
