EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Glasgow Steamies" takes us back to the bustling Gorbals area of Glasgow in June 1981. The image captures a slice of domestic life, showcasing women diligently engaged in their daily laundry routine at a steamies. Stepping into this scene, one can almost feel the warmth and humidity emanating from the steam-filled room. The photograph offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of these hardworking women as they tackle their laundry tasks with determination and resilience. Their faces tell stories of perseverance amidst challenging circumstances, reflecting the poverty that plagued many households during this era. In an era before washing machines became commonplace, steamies played a vital role in maintaining cleanliness for families who couldn't afford such luxuries. These communal laundries served as social hubs where neighbors would gather to wash clothes while exchanging news and gossip. Through this image, we are transported to a bygone time when handwashing was still prevalent and dry cleaning services were not yet widely accessible. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come in terms of technological advancements within our homes. Memory Lane Prints presents us with an opportunity to reflect on our own privileges while honoring those who worked tirelessly behind closed doors to keep their families clean and cared for. This photograph is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates an entire chapter of history defined by strength, unity, and unwavering dedication towards creating better lives despite adversity.
