It is not clear whether this fine example of 1930s industrial architecture will survive the demolition of the rest of the premises. It was turned down for listing as being incomplete and having insufficient technical merit. Daybrook was a long established large commercial laundry founded in 1875 by the brother of the founder of Home Brewery which was sited on the opposite side of Mansfield Road. The reason for the two very different businesses being established together was not the family connection - both sites had access to sources of excellent quality water!
