Cartmell Cottage

7 Pioneer Road

 

As well as the 1850s and 1940s kitchens, the house features a kitchen from the 1970s – complete with Rayburn stove, 2-metre radio, record player and fashionable curtains! A very well-equipped pantry adjoins this kitchen, featuring many original tins and jars of foodstuffs as well as the necessary mod cons…

These three distinctly different kitchens  clearly show the changes in everyday life in the Falklands and are  always greatly enjoyed by visitors.

Upstairs the bedrooms are  decorated and furnished in 1940s style. Our “family” has grown – our  little girl (we like to think that she is about 10 years old) shares her  room with a toddler, while another cot in the parents’ room clearly  indicates a more recent addition to the family! Our young lady has few  toys, but is lucky enough to have a lovely collection of hand-made  doll’s house furniture.

This wonderful house, that has watched  the growth of Stanley over the decades, is now itself protected from  development and will serve as a reminder of simpler days for generations  to come.

The Museum & National Trust is committed to preserving the heritage of the Falkland Islands and you can help.

If  you would like to sponsor the upkeep of an object, a room or an  outbuilding at Cartmell Cottage, please contact the Museum Manager  (museum.manager@horizon.co.fk) or write to the Museum for more  information. We will keep you up to date with works at the property and  your name will go on to a roll of honour that will be placed inside the  house.

Any donations made will be used towards further restoration work at the Cottage and will be gratefully received.
