Victorian Kitchen discovered in basement of home
It's like something out of Upstairs, Downstairs or Downton Abbey.
"Shrouded in a thick layer of dust and hidden under piles of junk, a complete Victorian kitchen lay forgotten for more than a generation.
Archie Graham-Palmer and his wife Philippa discovered the incredible time capsule when they began rummaging in the basement of the family home.
They found an entire kitchen kitted out as if the cook had just stepped out for a breath of air."

That's neat, but it makes you wonder what other kinds of skeletons could be hidden there.

I never did understand the "Hey! I just looked in the basement (broke a wall down) and found another whole room!"

Yep. Get it cleaned up and functional and I could spend quite a bit of time there.

This is way cool. I want one just like it.
Mrs. Bridges would be mad at Ruby for letting it get so dirty.

There are all kinds of scientists out there.
There are even "domestic science historians". (Colonial Williamsburg for example.)
They would probably come in, photograph the heck out of it, take scrapings from all of the pots and grunge, and try to determine the ingredients in recipes.
Plus, if you remove the patina from items you decrease the value.
So, KEEP SUE AWAY FROM HISTORICAL KITCHENS!
