In 1902 600,000 letters were delivered and 7,000 telegrams and there was a turnover of ?20,000. 8 postmen were making 3 daily deliveries in Bramley from this office. In the photograph parked infront of the Busy 'B' is the errand boy's bicycle with its large basket at the front for delivering the meat orders to homes within the community. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lower Town Street Patchett's Place | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
