Big 1960s or 1970s office block and depot as seen from Bath Street. John Beniston tells me that it was built in the late 1960s for the GPO as a "mechanised Parcel Concentration (sorting) Office, and offices for Nottingham's head postmaster". It closed in the early 1990s. At the time partly occupied by Hertz car rental. An application in 2006 to demolish and replace with a residential tower was clearly either rejected or stymied by the recession. The telephone exchange is behind (Image]).
