Ladies, Pier House Laundry workers, 1920s
Sandra Graves has provided this cheery photo of workers at the Pier House Laundry. The lady on the left, middle row, is Charlotte Grant, who was 28 in the 1901 census. In front of her, the lady on the left of the front row is Annie Grant, Charlotte's daughter in law.
Sandra adds 'Annie and her husband lived in Paradise Place, Brentford'.
The Pier House Laundry appears in Brentford area trade directories for 1907, 1911 and 1914 and was in Stand-on-the-Green, near to the Thames. It appears as 'Pier House Laundry (Amalgamated Laundries Ltd proprietors)' in 1914. In a 1937 directory the Amalgmated Laundries Ltd receiving office was at 273a High Street Brentford. The name 'Pier House' can be made out in a photo from 1948, see behind the first funeral car, next to the 'Central Garage''.
