steam laundry in Birkenhead - 29th Jul 2009 9:05pm
Hi,
does anyone know of a steam laundry that used to be in birkenhead, i believe it was in cleveland/vittoria st, it was caled ''falcon steam laundry''i believe they did a lot of work for the hospitals and closed down in the 60s.
the reason i am interested is that i have found my G.Uncle's wife on 1911 census aged 16 and working as a ''carrier out at laundry'', would that mean she helped to deliver the laundry? her sister also worked there as a ''colar ironer''.
they lived in Hind St Birkenhead,so it sounds like the laundry were they worked, i would like to find some pics of it,i've tried googling but have'nt found anything so far.
