Supposedly the name The Launderers came about due to the members being committed to washing each other’s clean laundry in public, an apparent reference to their desire to promote, rather than denigrate, each other. They often held these 'Laundries' at the home of Gilbert Beith, known as Hollywood, in Gomshall, Surrey. The group concentrated on the theatre district in London’s West End, and they wrote and performed plays in small theatres and other private venues, most commonly in a restaurant called The Cutty Sark. Members included Brian Hill and George Harvey who most likely inscribed the third title listed above to Gilbert Beith. The group’s activities were recorded from 1924-1930 by Joanna Elder Giles, a young Australian woman from a wealthy and influential family. She became acquainted with The Launderers through a friend, and quickly met one of the group’s members; her soon-to-be writing partner, Brian Hill, with whom she wrote mystery novels under the pseudonym of Marcus Magill.
