Ice cream, sausages -- and clean clothes!

Bizarre and ingenious domestic gadgets will be on display at the Kew Bridge Steam Museum in an exhibition called Design for Living which starts on January 12.

The exhibition is on loan from the Museum of Nostalgia's reserve collection and some items will be on display for the first time.

They include a tiny 1935 spy camera, an 1853 3D viewer, a Victorian step commode, lawn shoes worn by a horse and 1935 washing machine that was claimed to make ice cream and sausages.
