From Wikipedia:
“Pier House Laundry, occupying much of the western end of Thames Road (between Spring Grove and Hearne Road) was built by 1860, becoming one of London’s largest laundries; it closed in 1973. In 2016, a fire badly damaged offices in the building. After Fuller, Smith & Turner sold Chiswick’s Griffin Brewery in 2019, they moved their registered office to the refurbished building.”
From Gill Clegg’s Chiswick History Web Pages:
“PIER HOUSE LAUNDRY
The large red-brick building at the western end of Strand-on-the-Green, now offices, was built as the Pier House Laundry in 1905 (extended 1914).
The laundry was founded by Frenchman, Camille Simon in 1860 in what had previously been a hotel on the river’s edge. The laundry prospered until 1973 when it was forced to close, not because it lacked customers but due to the difficulties of finding staff.”
