Dumb waiter at Croome Court - a photo on Flickriver

Dumb waiter at Croome Court

The second visit to Croome, the National Trust property / estate in over 5 years.

A look around Croome Court. Since most of the original furniture and fixtures and fittings were sold in the late 1940s, the National Trust has revolving temporary exhibitions in the rooms instead!

Dumb waiter.

Made by Evans Lifts Itd. of London and Leicester, this was one of the first things added to Croome Court when it became a boys school in 1950. It allowed all the food & crockery to be sent up from the basement kitchen to the dining room above.
"Supper would be a biscuit or cake and a warm drink before bed. Sometimes we used to climb into the dumbwaiter and travel up with the biscuits and pinch a couple of course!"
