After clothes were washed they were put through a mangle. This was a large and sometimes dangerous object as many children caught their fingers in the heavy rollers. The mangle squeezed out all the water which meant that it was quicker for the clothes to dry on the washing line. Clothes pegs were sometimes made out of split twigs.
