AGA_Stories

Snapshot: Lorraine’s AGA has been on all day, every day for the last 60 years and she believes it is “just coming into its prime”. Lorraine could not do without her AGA as she uses it to heat the hot water for the house, boil the kettle, bake the bread, roast the beef and keep the kitchen nice and warm for breakfast in the mornings. The AGA is well loved by all who visit and Lorraine says it makes “a house into a home”. When clothes need drying at night the job is left to the AGA and the old Sheila Maid installed with the AGA in 1950. Over the years they have become inseparable and work perfectly together. Lorraine says: “It is more than 50 years old and still going strong.”
Finest Hour: Lorraine believes her AGA to be one of the first AGAs to be installed in Northern Ireland (on or around 1950).
