A few sites and books recommended for anybody wishing to study kettles from a different angle.



I have found the following sites to be of interest and help in the course of my studies. They are offered as places to go and books to read but, of course, I have no jurisdiction over these offerings and therefore cannot vouch for their accuracy.


Sadly many of the old websites have now disappeared from the Internet. One I especially miss is Paul Linnell’s “Simply Switch On”

Amberley Working Museum

A real Museum set in the heart of the South Downs. Covering 35 acres it house some fantastic collections of articles from both Domestic and Working life

The Milne Museum

The Electrical collection housed at Amberley Working Museum. Covering both Domestic items and Industrial.

The Old Copper Website

Collectors of Electric kettles will find this site immensely useful for help in identifying manufacturers marks. Also some kettles featured.
