Any assistance in the way of information or photographs will be most warmly appreciated.

 

If you require information I will do my best to help but please be patient, my second hobby is motor-homing.

A few sites and books recommended for anybody wishing to study kettles from a different angle.

 

 

I have found the following sites to be of interest and help in the course of my studies. They are offered as places to go and books to read but, of course, I have no jurisdiction over these offerings and therefore cannot vouch for their accuracy.

Amberley Working Museum

A real Museum set in the heart of the South Downs. Covering 35 acres it house some fantastic collections of articles from both Domestic and Working life

The Milne Museum

The Electrical collection housed at Amberley Working Museum. Covering both Domestic items and Industrial.

Simply Switch On

One of the first internet museums dedicated to Domestic Appliances and a fantastic collection of Information and Pictures/.

The Old Copper Website

Collectors of Electric kettles will find this site immensly useful for help in identifying manufacturers marks. Also some kettles featured.

Teasmade.com

Mainly concerned with Automatic Tea-Makers but still an informative and inspirational site

The Official Electric Kettle Museum

Although claiming to be official it still propagates one or two myths. But has some good kettle photo’s and some good information.
