A communal clothes drying area in a mid-20th century housing estate. With the advent of tumble dryers and the near-death of neighbourly sharing, I cannot imagine this facility being provided in any contemporary development. Corrosion of the shallow-cover reinforcement in the concrete posts suggests it may not last much longer anyway.
