This washing dolly is made of wood and has five legs, and would have been used with a wooden washing tub. It was probably made in Lancashire in the mid-nineteenth century, and was used by the donor's aunt in her house in Llangollen, Wales. The donor recalls it being used to wash blankets and clothes when she was a girl in the 1880s.
