Pre-War/WWII Electrolux Fridge: Britain’s Oldest Working Fridge located in a remote bungalow in Derbyshire

This remarkable Electrolux fridge, owned by Jim Williamson of Hope Valley, Derbyshire, is still going strong! Made in England in 1941, it has been in constant use keeping food fresh in a remote Derbyshire bungalow ever since. The previous claim to the oldest fridge was a 1958 Electrolux L460. This new find, the Electrolux L380 fridge, was made in England between 1934-1941 – before or around the start of WWII! We believe this is the oldest working fridge in the UK.
