I can't imagine such a place! Probably expensive? But worth it? I buy all my clothes at discounted prices so I hate to pay more to clean them than I paid to buy them... :)
I had no idea there were hand laundries any more! I'm fascinated!
Okay, I'll be thinking about this one for awhile.
Wow, I haven't heard of a hand wash laundry in years. That really is amazing and I can think of a couple of clothing items that I'd love to let them wash for me. My hand washing skills are not the best.
Almost incredible, a real rarity!
Another huge blast from the past, although we do still have several items of clothing that still require hand washing! I imagine this business is still quite popular though?
Pretty amazing!
Quite interesting that someone still does hand washing laundry these days!
I suppose people still bring their laundry there otherwise they wouldn't be there.
Hand wash? I don't even hand wash my own stuff anymore!
For me this is a history lesson.
Lovely window.
lovely place
amazing that a hand-washed laundry still exists! great find
Don't think I've ever seen one.
Amazing that the shop has survived so many years. The son is in his eighties and is still able to run the business... that is amazing too.
I know a couple of the laundries here offer to do your laundry for you, but that's still by machine, not by hand.
In the current economic climate they are growing here
neat.
Don't see many of these nowadays.
I'm guessing maybe the last of its kind anywhere! Wow.
How wonderful that it is still there! I've never seen one before.
In answer to your question on my blog, yes, many of the names of these cities are first nation (or native American, as we would say here in the US). In fact, there are native American mounds not far from my house and when we first moved here many years ago, my kids often found arrowheads in our yard and on the playground at their school.
I think the trend is away from clothes that need dry cleaning to fabrics that do not need that level of care. Nothing looks better tho than a newly cleaned and pressed garment right out of the cleaners.
This is an amazing story. I know they go work that you do not see anymore. They are special people.
Something very praiseworthy about all that!

They have a good business to be up all these years.
Frankly My Dear
I also like the reflection showing the street opposite
Hand laundry!! Well that's a first for me Pat, launderettes, yes. I have a friend who washes most of her clothes by hand, I mean, who has the time, or inclination to do that :)
What a fantastic place, that's so cool. Lovely reflection in the window as well...
Gradually they disappear. For here too :((
Hand-washed? WOW!
