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 a 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, then please contact the Director at director@falklands-museum.co.fk or telephone 27428.
