Monday wash-day worries have ended for Hammersmith, West London, for women lucky enough to live in the new Aspen Gardens Estate. For a shilling, they can have the week's wash finished inside 20 minutes. They just pop down to the laundry, pop the wash into any of the 20 automatic machines, sit back and wait while the machines do the work. After another twenty minutes in one of the three large drying machines the laundry is ready for ironing. Photo shows: Three of the Hammersmith housewives place their laundry in the automatic washing machines at the Aspen Garden Estate. From front to back, Mrs A Piggott; Mrs I Kenton and Mrs A C;lements. Also in the picture is Raymond, 3 year old son of Mrs Clements. 27th September 1948
