Sonia Cooke
Sim Street was once the site of the old "bag-wash" (launderette) where, as teenagers, Sonia and her friends would huddle in the doorway. This same geographical location is now the site of Sonia's home. Her chosen object, a pink dressing gown belonging to her late Nanny, has a stain on it that Sonia will never wash away. The film, Number Eleven, refers simultaneously to the bag-wash and to the role Sonia fulfils locally as the person who, with swathes of voile and net, dresses the rooms to which the deceased are brought home to rest before burial or cremation.
