A small team of Liverpool residents are opening a new launderette in the Everton/ Anfield area, intended as a social business rooted in the local community. We want to provide affordable washing and drying facilities for residents, while also reimagining the warm, underused space of the launderette for a variety of social and creative activities. From film screenings and local history groups, to crafts and ironing clubs, we’ll be serving up coffee, conversation and free Wi-Fi for all.

The business will be known as Kitty’s Launderette, in honour of local historical figure Kitty Wilkinson, who was instrumental in establishing the first wash house in the country back in 1842, here in the Everton/Anfield area.

Kitty’s Launderette is starting a UK Lottery Funded Heritage Project. ‘Hanging Out: Histories of Liverpool's Laundry Life’ aims to explore launderettes and wash-houses in Liverpool and record memories of experiences in these spaces. This will result in a number of exhibitions and events to bring to life the memories of these experiences to uncover these forgotten histories of community in Liverpool.

If you would like to share your memories, please do get in touch. We offer drop-in sessions every week where you can share your memories over a cuppa with our researcher and volunteers. For more information please call Kerrie on 07943 008 592 or email heritage@kittyslaunderette.org.uk

We are looking forward to hearing your story!
