Thankfully, this era is well past. I remember it as being absolutely filthy. Smuts in the eyes, black collars after an hour outside. Washing drying in the kitchen on a pull-down rack since if it was put outside it came in dirtier than before it was washed. Choking smoke and soot everywhere. But I am still very nostalgic about it all and regret the passing of steam, bit I can't help asking myself, why?
