Interesting to see that Ware, not unexpectedly, had a laundry all those years ago and was no doubt a key and important member of the community, particularly for health reasons. Even villages in Victorian and Edwardian times were similarly so blessed, including where I live – Watton at Stone. I have some material on this, including contemporary photographs, and census records, It is my intention to submit an article under the banner of ‘Hertsmemories’ – ‘Villages’ in the not too distant future.
