Trafalger 1 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I think that the building was used by one of the public utilities i.e. water, electric or gas back in the 60's On second thoughts was it telephone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paulus 541 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Total Reclaims may just be 'gutting' the building, not totally demolishing it..................I hope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 What exactly was this building. Driven past it many times but never noticed it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 The answer to that is earlier in the thread...before it was built in 1902 it was a vicarage garden.The similar shaped building over the road at the top of Derby road was originally a post office.
