This is my submission for "Life in Black & White" as this represents Life in another era

I must admit I do love our new front loader washing machine Would have been hard work doing the washing like that ... no 1200rpm spin cycle there !

If you weren't wringing out the washing, you could always use the carpet beater laying beneath!
Lovely reminders and the lighting is subtle also. Well done.

I'm not old enough to remember these, but when I was a child we had an outside laundry and loo down the garden path, with the old copper and which had a wringer with the rollers and a handle on the side attached at the top.  You positioned the wringer so the clothes would go into the laundry tub or basket, then fished the end out of the copper and fed it into the wringers and started T U R N I N G with many grunts and heaves.  My grandmother thankfully replaced it with one of the first 'modern era' washing machines around 1960 (when I was 7).
