EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Roland Hicklin, we are transported back to the 1970s at the Liver Laundrette in Runcorn. The image showcases Lily Carlson, the manageress of this bustling launderette, going above and beyond to provide exceptional service to her customers. As she stands behind a counter adorned with refreshments, Lily's warm smile radiates genuine care and hospitality. She understands that doing laundry can be a tedious task, so she goes the extra mile to create a communal atmosphere where patrons can feel comfortable and relaxed. One customer caught in this snapshot is Lawrence Fulton, an avid yoga enthusiast. As his washing machine spins away in the background, Lawrence takes advantage of Lily's accommodating nature by finding solace on a nearby mat for meditation. This unique blend of technology and tranquility perfectly encapsulates the spirit of innovation during this era. Roland Hicklin's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also highlights how advancements in machinery and technology were revolutionizing everyday tasks like laundry. With its time-saving capabilities and community-oriented approach, Liver Laundrette was undoubtedly ahead of its time. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both Lily Carlson's dedication as manageress and society's evolving relationship with household chores during the late 20th century.
