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.

A wonderful capture, we still hang washing out in the garden in North Yorkshire. Splendid work. Hugs. Di. xx
beautiful picture
Awesome capture.
The only reason I don't still hang it out is that I do washing for all 4 of my lodgers!
great foto.
bonne photo!
Cool shot my Friend!!!
Excellent capture and love the detail!
I like this! ...And much better for the environment as well!
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!
Beautiful picture !
so northern, it takes me straight back to my Lancashire grannie
Nice work!!!
An interesting slice of life. I've seen the same thing in Hebden Bridge, just a couple of miles away.
Stunning capture my friend.
Charming and technically beautiful.
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.
