John O'Groat Laundry.
This is a good example of a commercial laundry of the type that became popular at the turn of the century. In laundries like this, household linen and clothing could be washed mechanically, for a small fee. This view shows the laundry from the street. The single-storey brick workshops are typical of the building type, as is the square-section brick chimney stack. Laundries like this became less popular with the availability of cheap domestic washing machines. The survivors washed industrial clothing and hotel ware (now demolished) Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
