EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of healthcare. The image showcases dedicated workers at West Cumberland Hospital's laundry, diligently washing and pressing bed linen. Located on Homewood Road in Whitehaven, Cumbria, this hospital played a crucial role in serving the local community. Constructed during the initial phase of development alongside the boiler house and workshops, this laundry facility was an integral part of the hospital's operations. With an impressive capacity to handle 45,000 articles per week, it efficiently serviced multiple hospitals in the region. The photograph provides a glimpse into the bustling interior of the laundry room from the 1960s. Rows upon rows of washing machines and tumble dryers stand as silent witnesses to countless hours spent ensuring clean linens for patients' comfort. Originally featured in Team Spirit, Laing company's newsletter in December 1964, this image is now preserved by Historic England Archive. It serves as a testament to both technological advancements and human dedication within our national health service (NHS). As we reflect on this snapshot from history, let us appreciate not only how far we have come but also acknowledge those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure hygienic conditions for patients during their time at West Cumberland Hospital.
