Katrina Jones memories of Sheldon Sorting Office

by Katrina Jones memories of Sheldon Sorting Office

Sheldon Sorting Office. At the very front on the main Coventry Road, where the window of the chemist is, do you remember you could get the stamps, the little brass plaque? And you put your money in and you get the stamps out.

There used to be two of them on the front there. It was all blocked in and I think there was windows at the top but at the bottom there was these… they was like little, um… like a little plate and you put your money in and you, and you lifted up the little hinge and the stamps come out the bottom.

There was like two phone boxes, as well, on the corner and they took them down. Whether it’s because everybody now’s got their own phone, I don’t know, but they did eventually… not, not that long, a couple of years ago they were being taken down and then they re-slabbed the corner. But the post box is still there.
