Hi guys. Thougt I would share these pics with you. Another laundrette closing a few miles from me and everything is being sold for buttons on e bay. Sadly I can't do the link as I'm using my smart phone but I have copied the pics to share. it's a shame someone on here couldn't buy them. Whole laundry for nearly no money.

Hi Robbie, had seen that in Crosby, sad to see it close after all these years..and all those golden era colours, most of the liver Launderettes are all stainless steel washers and dryers now!!
Ipso washers and Loadstar dryers made a winning combination... CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK on eBay |

Soz Robbie was just talking to Ian about it... yes and me the same, would be great to get an old working launderette and space for a museum along side it, retro cafe with the red leather bench seats obviously.
Drove to bem Brasil Liverpool last night and past all the Liver Launderettes, looking all stainless and the same now - no colour at all!! |

I remember as a kid my first job when I was 11 was taking the beer mats from our local pub to the liver laundrette every Saturday. Dream job lol. And all the washers were stainless steel then. Rex machines and that was about 27 years ago. I must admit since having a larger capacity machine I don't go the laundrette anymore to wash duvets etc. Plus it's so expensive now as well.

Hi Robbie, I wonder how many Liver Laundrettes operate, there seems to be tons about?, yes doing all those barmats does sound a dream job!!
Ian, this was a launderette that I passed on the way to south Wales through Hereford, should check with Lee to see if its still there. Just found one out of Milnrow and it still has coloured Whirpool top loaders from the 80`s, pics to follow, I always keep a sleeping bag in the boot just in case I find an old shop and need to use the classic washers!! |
