Description
Now this is a sight you wont often see but in the old days before washing machines and tumble dryers this would have been a very familiar sight in many streets on a Monday with washing lines stretched from one side of the road to the other.
Shot this weekend in Todmorden.
Maybe not a master piece but interesting to see how the other half lives.
Much better in full size view for the street cobble and house detail.

The only reason I don't still hang it out is that I do washing for all 4 of my lodgers!

Well done! You've turned a mundane chore into a piece of art.

My mom always hung her clothes on a line, but it is delightful to see the lines strung between buildings like this. Wonderful photo!

An interesting slice of life. I've seen the same thing in Hebden Bridge, just a couple of miles away.

i agree that this is more than an aesthetic piece. it tells a story and shows a bit of culture that brings to mind certain places and even certain times.
