In 1870 Daybrook Laundry was started, along with Home Brewery, by two Robinson brothers (Samuel and John), and whilst, sadly, after over 100 years the Home Brewery was eventually closed down in 1997, Daybrook Laundry had survived the years apart from a slight name change to Daybrook Linen Services, but now this company too has closed. The laundry was completely modernised in the early 1930s.
