In this image from 1955, we see a woman hanging her laundry on the clothes-line in her backyard. When I was growing up – in the 1960s and 1970s – every backyard on my street had a clothes-line. While hanging out their laundry, the neighbors would holler to each other.

Wait. Do you guys not have clotheslines now? Does all your washing go in the drier? I’m assuming you’re from the US but maybe not?
Or do you just mean this style of clothesline is no longer around?
I still use a clothesline.
lol, those are the cloth diapers that were scrunched in the middle.
I remember clothes lines as child from the late 60s and 70s but not nearly this long
I hated relying on a clothesline. It’s tedious, they don’t dry nicely, get covered in pollen and cobwebs, and if it’s raining then oh well no clean clothes for you.
