1948 1951
A Memory of Norwich.
I joined the Norwich Post Office in 1948 as a telegram messenger boy.The entrance at that time was in King Street for us .I remember going into the loft above the counter from where the officials used to watch the counter staff.There were about 26 of us boys then aged between 15 and 18 when we were called-up for National Service. Hail, rain, sleet and snow were not taken as an excuse for non-delivery - we always had to get there. We used motor-cycles then,125cc and 250cc BSA bikes (I topped the ton going along Plumstead Road, but don't tell anyone!) Prince of Wales Road was parking on odd and even dates then, and was very busy with the buses using the Thorpe Station as a terminus. Happy Days!
