Rothwell Street wash house, Bolton. Photo by Bolton Evening News, March 08 1937....
WASH days were certainly not every day for families in 1937.
For most it meant a trip to the wash house like the one seen here in Rothwell Street.
It was a labour intensive job and nothing like the ease with which we can wash our clothes today — at home and using an automatic washing machine.
How times have changed!
