1 Brook Street, Nottingham
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.

Bendigo's Grave
You didn’t know of Bendigo! Well, that knocks me out!
Who’s your board school teacher? What’s he been about?
Chock-a-block with fairy-tales full of useless cram,
And never heard o’ Bendigo, the pride of Nottingham!
Bendy’s short for Bendigo. You should see him peel!
Half of him was whalebone, half of him was steel,
Fightin’ weight eleven ten, five foot nine in height,
Always ready to oblige if you want a fight.
I could talk of Bendigo from here to kingdom come,
I guess before I ended you would wish your dad was dumb.
-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Bendy's Sermon Poem
William Abednego Thompson was born in Nottingham in 1811. He was universally known as Bendigo, a prize bare-knuckle fighter who became champion of England in 1839. He was unbeaten in 21 fights. He died in 1880 but is still remembered in his home city where his grave is here in St Mary's Rest Garden. The lion has weathered somewhat over the intervening years but he does look suitably sad.
