The Chainmaker’s house was the first house to be reconstructed at the Museum and is a typical example of late Victorian worker’s housing. Built in 1886 with a washhouse (known locally as the “brew ‘us”) a coalhouse, privy and a workshop in the back yard, it represents the improved standards for working class housing being set towards the end of the nineteenth century. The interior has been displayed to reflect the home of a fairly prosperous late Victorian chainmaker of 1914. He would have been relatively well off because there was still a strong market for chain from the expanding shipbuilding and dock trades. Originally the shop had two identical hearths but it is now set up with a woman's hearth. Many women made chain in backyard workshops such as this and in 1911 32% of chainmakers were women. The kitchen at the back featuring a cast iron stove. A table with food.
