Liverpool

A city at the root of public laundry history

Liverpool's place in laundry history reaches back to Kitty Wilkinson, whose cholera-era work led toward the city's first public wash house on Upper Frederick Street in 1842. The modern city still has launderettes serving students, renters, families, and anyone who needs a reliable machine outside the home.
