I remember it well, it was an open structure and was the cause of the awful smell

Think of the poor mothers and wives who had to wash those clothes, on Sefton road we had a wash house, could make a fire under a boiler, my mum never used it, dolly tub, wash board and a stool like thing with a long handle,that moved the clothes around in the tub,Mum only bought a washing machine when we moved to sonning Ave, electric wringer,at first she would get clothes stuck in the wringer, mostly mine,

We had the same in the back yard, a dolly tub, dolly stick and a mangle - Mum got her first washing machine about 1959/60 a twin tub, we were lived in Ford.
