Ladies, Pier House Laundry workers, 1920s

Sandra Graves 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'.

Janet Byron, July 2022: Several of the Pugh family worked at Pier House Laundry. I think the girl on the far right could be my nan's sister Flossie Pugh and she is holding the arm of my Nan Nellie Pugh. Read more about Janet's Pugh family.

Alan Jutson, May 2014: the lady in the middle of the middle row looks like my Grandmother Annie Hyde. She lived at Catherine Wheel Yard.
