This photograph, titled "Advert, Surbiton and Kingston Laundry, Surrey," transports us back to the late 1890s in the bustling suburban area of Surbiton and Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey. The image, taken in 1897 by Terry Parker, depicts a thriving laundry business located at Alfred Road, Spring Grove. The scene is filled with a sense of industry and activity, as men and women work diligently to process laundry using the latest technology of the time. The Comet dry cleaning machine, a popular innovation in the late 19th century, stands prominently at the center of the photograph. Surrounding it are large vats for dyeing and washing, as well as rows of clotheslines hung with freshly cleaned garments. The workers, both male and female, are engrossed in their tasks, their faces expressing a mix of focus and determination. The holiday season of 1897 adds a festive touch to the scene, with Christmas decorations visible in the background. The laundry's advertisement sign, which reads "Advert, Surbiton and Kingston Laundry," is proudly displayed, indicating the business's commitment to serving the local community. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a turn-of-the-century laundry, showcasing the hard work and dedication required to keep households clean and well-presented.
