Emma Percival I think this in on Robin Hood Street. The company started on Goose Gate in 1907 and moved to Sneinton Market in 1915. I am not sure when they got the original building on Robin Hood Street. They bought the land at the back of Robin Hood Street (Manchester and Liverpool Street I think) in the 1970's.

"Victoria Buildings on Bath Street taken from Victoria Park in December 1962. The flats are still there, I think they are now privately owned, and the park is still there.....I remember the bus stop was where the 39 trolley bus stopped and I often caught a 44 trolley bus to the terminus at Colwick Woods from there." - Geoff Jackson

Elaine: " I used to push a pram load of washing down to here to meet my mam from work. Evocative memories of this place, I found it fascinating, especially the big dryers that would push into the wall. On one occasion my mams sheets went missing and she walked all around the streets looking to see if anyone had got them on the washing line."
The line across the yard ...where Monday's washing hung
You seemed to know who lived in each house -
And through the sheets you'd run
You'd see overalls belonging to Dads -Aprons that were Mums
Sunday best, woolies, nappies maybe
Granddad's long johns
All white crisp washing hanging in the sun
but off to Bath street Wash House -when the wet days come
With washing piled high in a pram -through the rain we often ran
There was Sinks, Dryers, Ironers, - a hard days work for all
You had a ticket at your turn the attendent would call -
Oh I was only watching -sat with all parked prams
I helped Mam as she finished-
To our house in St Ann's (Well Road)
Nowdays it seems easy -with washers & dryers we use -
No more put the copper on, mix the starch -
We don't know the washday blues
So when I see washing all pegged out
And blowing on a line
it brings back memories of yesteryear .When everyday seemed fine !
