679.0. "Launderette....does Basingstoke house such an item ?" by FORTY2::WILKINS (Testing is a desirable thing - like a dentist.) Wed Aug 25 1993 15:19

	Hi,

	I've searched this conference for info. on launderettes but the
	most current entry is dated 7-July-1992 (575.1) so I'm hoping 
	someone can give me some "newer" info.

	Does anyone know of a launderette in Basingstoke ? I've heard
	suggestions of Popley and Winklebury but neither have been
	confirmed.

	Any help is appreciated,

	Regards,
	Kevin.

679.1Winklebury and Popley as of recentlyWIZZER::TRAYLERWed Aug 25 1993 17:4026
    
    There is a launderette in Popley and one in Winklebury also. Both are
    advertised in the Thompson Local or Yellow pages or something similar, 
    thats how I found them.
    
    I'll attempt some rough directions on how to find them both ( I ended
    up using the popley one as the winklebury one is closed on Mondays.)
    
    Popley:
    
    On the pedestrian walkway, between the two ends of Shakespeare Road.
    There are several shops there and the launderette. This place does
    service washes also.
    
    Winklebury.
    
    From the roundabout at the top of the slip road from the ring road you
    take the 2nd exit,( straight over) further up this road there is a left
    turn into the estate. Down there is another parade of shops including a
    launderette.
    
    I'm sorry my directions are pretty vauge but as I say, they are in the
    phone book.

679.3Winklebury = Elmwood WayKERNEL::ROSESat Aug 28 1993 12:4210
    
    Hi, Kevin,
    
    The Winklebury launderette is in what's called Elmwood Parade and the
    road is called Elmwood Way. There's a car park round the back. Apart
    from the two Kevin mentioned I don't think there are any others.
    
    Bye
