I shared an advert for a gas cooker yesterday; here is another advert which also features in my 1912 edition of Mrs Beeton. This is a range, and these types of cooker are now really popular, although most these days are electric or gas. Russell’s Patent Lifting Fire Herald Range used coals to provide the heat.
The proud boast by Robert Russell and Sons is that these cookers were used in Queen Alexander’s Technical School at Sandringham; Sandringham is in Norfolk and is the house and estate of the royal family.
I don’t know if Robert Russell, who came from Scotland, was related to William and Alexander Russell who produced the Fletcher Russell stove I wrote about yesterday… but he had an iron foundry too, and in 1881 producing stoves, grates and ranges employing 140 men & boys

I can remember my very elderly Nana having a similar one in her kitchen when I was tiny. It was coal-fired and plainer than this. Made wonderful bread and Welsh Cakes

Welsh Cakes… I think only Welsh people can make Welsh Cakes… any others are feeble impersonations… I have tried… but I have not a tiniest bit of Welsh blood… so I tried and they were ok, but not like real Welsh Welsh Cakes!
