Washing on the Green 1916

Girls washing laundry on Glasgow Green. One of them has hung her woollen shawl over the railings.

The girls are rubbing clothes on the corrugated metal surfaces of their wash boards to help loosen dirt and stains.

Once clean, they spread the clothes on the grass to dry or hang them up on public washing lines.

Can you see the well-dressed woman and boy strolling past on the path?
