1963
Clare Twine of West Yorkshire's 1963 kitchen: "The best thing I can say is it's functional and the ironing board doubles as a breakfast bar. Worktop space is a bit scarce."
-
1967
Simon Anderson of North Yorkshire's 1967 kitchen: "I've lived with this kitchen for too long now. It's got to the stage where I think it's normal. I'm worried."
-
1972
Gary Cole of West Yorkshire's 1972 kitchen: "The worst thing is it's red and I'm a Leeds fan! The best thing is there's a fridge with beer in it. I should rip it out really."
-
1985
Helen Alred of West Yorkshire's 1985 kitchen: "Best thing is the size. I reckon it could accommodate a table. It's all looking a bit drab and dated now though."
-
1992
Liz MacGregor's 1992 kitchen: "We moved in a couple of years ago and the kitchen has grown on me. I love the handles and would actually like to update it using the same units."
-
2003
Joanne Gibson of West Yorkshire's 2003 kitchen: "I love my kitchen. It's got loads of cupboard space and everything's been really well thought through. Just how I imagined it."
