Description:For these two ladies (one is Lewis Green's mother) this was a very different washday experience. Both would have remembered the "brew 'us" in the yards of the back to back housing and the network of lines stretching from house to house. In their new flats at Hogarth House they had the prospect of drying washing on the roof!
