In 1916 it was thornhill St. Upper Wortley.

Hi Chris,I suspect that you may be thinking of Moorfield Laundry.Ian Thanks Ian - that may well be so - I had no idea why I remembered the address so clearly as I have never been a customer of such a facility in Armley, so there we are.

Hygenic Laundry - Cecil Road LS12 (Back of Armley Park School)Moorfield Laundry - Edinburgh Grove LS12 (Just off Town Street, top end)Most of my family (mam & dad, grans, uncles & aunts), including me, worked at the Hygenic at one time. Sadly though nearly all are gone to the great washouse in the sky. It was the mid 70's when I worked there.

Don't think it's Town Street.
