Please help me find something (but I don't know what its called??!!)

[BettySpaghetti]

I would like to find one of those things you suspend from a ceiling to dry clothes on or hang pots and pans on. Don't know what they're called though so can't really Google.

The sort I'm thinking of are quite old-fashioned ( my Gran used to have one over the Aga many years ago) -usually wooden and can be raised and lowered by a pulley.

I want it to go in the utility room as we've decided to build it with a pitch ceiling / open to the rafters and thought it would be ideal for drying washing.

TIA

Laundry maids.

if you google it you will find loads. I would do links but pc is very slow today (work one).

they are often called sheila maids

It's a "Sheila Maid" (or just "Ceiling Clothes Airer" for the more prosaic).

Try here , here or here

Thank you folks -will have a look at the links and do some googling now.

Had never heard them called that before so I'm glad I asked or I would have been here all night!
