Fencible Cottage

The day we went to the Fencible Cottage I saw a vacuum cleaner which took me back to the 1800’s.

This invention surprised me because the 1800’s vacuum cleaner is very different to the modern day ones. The 1800’s vacuum cleaner is operated manually whereby the user pulls the handle up and down to operate it whereas the modern vacuum is operated by pushing the vacuum cleaner forwards and backwards.

Another difference is that the 1800’s vacuum cleaner is not powered by electricity which makes this a tiring chore! However, although the modern vacuum cleaner is powered by electricity and is extra usage added to the bills, it is much easier and faster to use and control.

I think we would find it quite a challenge to use the machinery of the past.
