Now That’s a Fine Looking Scullery…
What is a “scullery”? It is a room in a house traditionally used for washing up dishes and laundering clothes, or as an overflow kitchen when the main kitchen is overloaded. Tasks performed in the scullery include cleaning dishes or cooking utensils (or storing them), occasional kitchen work, ironing, boiling water for cooking or bathing, and soaking and washing clothes. In North American this term has fallen out of favour and generally has been replace with butler’s pantry.
