From the very first UK laundrette in Queensway, West London (opened in 1949) to the present day laundry-services...the laundrette has played a vital part in the UK's modern history. But is the popular opinion of laundrettes as unsavoury places to go only when you are at your lowest a fair assertion? As Yasmeen Khan discovers, not everyone finds laundrettes depressing places - for many, the local laundrette is as much a community centre and social hub as the pub is...more Dot.com than Dot Cotton - such as Manchester's first Internet launderette where customers can surf the net and watch films while washing their smalls!
