mary1947 2,071 Posted April 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 I went into Nottm just before Christmas and for some reason had to use the Post Office, So down Queen st to the Main PO I went, only to find out that Nottingham no longer has a main PO. I ask this person who was not from Nottm (you could tell by his accent) where the PO had gone ? for some reason it was now in Victory Center in W H Smiths on the second floor. Embarrasseded to have ask a stranger when I am a Nottm person. Main PO has gone just another nail in our city centre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,071 Posted April 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 When I think about Bath Street Nottingham I think about History of our city? The Wash House should never have gone it could have been part of our history yes it was old and out of date but did you ever go inside ? it was another world. Can't remember my age maybe 13/14 and my dad volunteerd me to take our neighbors washing to the wash house every Monday after school, now I had to push a pram full of washing all the way up bath st to the wash house. Payment a tanner 6d. I hoped that I would never meet any of my school friends as I used to feel so embarrassed pushing a pram at my age. Inside the wash house well!! it was just magic Women with dinky curlers in and tubans on, some with fags hanging side of there mouths lots of steam comming from the hot water boilers. large stone sinks with a wash board at each sink. then the drying room, with large pull out wooden cupboards which had wooden poles for you to hang wasing on, then the ironing room with a large very large roller which would hold a full sheet. Looking back now i was glad that my dad found me my first job if not I would never have set foot in the wash house. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
