Aga SOS – Penny in Norfolk

In 1978, after renovating a derelict farmhouse in beautifulNorfolk conservation area - the ONLY cooker to fill the magnificent chimney breast was of course an Aga. It is almost constantly on, except for perhaps a few short weeks in the summer and ...

still going strong – jestelia

I was delighted to find an Aga in place when we moved to our current home. It came as a surprise to find it was solid fuel and probably dates from the 30s. It lit first time , took a bit of getting used to and quite a lot of searching to find roas...

Saved from scrap – Mickey

Our Aga had been taken from an old lady's house in one piece on wooden rollers and was advertised for sale in the 'farmers guardian'. It was to be found in the open air on an allotment. we bought it and it was delivered along witte rollers on the ...

The Conversion – Fairy

Not what it was – The Pumpkin Eaters
