We lived with my grandmother in London for a while in the 40s, I went with her to the wash house down the road where she did our laundry. There were massive sinks, wash boards, mangles and those drop down clothes airers where you left your washing to dry.
I revisited a few years ago, the old wash house is now a graphic design studio. I told them how I used to go to help with the laundry, they were fascinated.
