This is a section Taken from Arons Rod English nove.what is meaning of wash-copper and put-up board in this Text.i searched dicts but found nothing.To Aaron Sisson, this was home, this was Christmas: the unspeakably familiar. The war over, nothing was changed. Yet everything changed. The scullery in which he stood was painted green, quite fresh, very clean, the floor was red tiles. The wash-copper of red bricks was very red, the mangle with its put-up board was white-scrubbed, the American oil-cloth on the table had a gay pattern, there was a warm fire, the water in the boiler hissed faintly. Regards.

This is a section taken from "Aarons Rod", an English novel. What is the meaning of "wash-copper" and "put-up board" in this text? I searched dictionaries but found nothing."To Aaron Sisson, this was home, this was Christmas: the unspeakably familiar. The war over, nothing was changed. Yet everything changed. The scullery in which he stood was painted green, quite fresh, very clean, the floor was red tiles.
