    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Basket World, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

    This is probably the Mount Pleasant sorting office, which was in a former prison. See www.postalheritage.org.uk/exhibitions/mountpleasant/worki... which has photos that show similar lights.

    I visited Mount Pleasant Sorting Office in 1978 or so to see the famous Post Office Underground railway in operation . It linked the main sorting offices with London train stations. In Victorian times it was a pneumatic train, driven by compressed air. In te 1970s it was electric . The post office was huge then too hundreds of sorting staff coming and going. Amazing place.

    As a teenager I worked for a builder in his workshop and occasionally was given the job of taking circular or bandsaw blades to McMahon's timber yard. There I would hand the saw over to a skilled Sawyer who would tune and sharpen it. That was skilled work where the teeth were adjusted by bending the them alternately left and right and then carefully filing the cutting face. I wasn't supposed to linger but I was fascinated with the skill and application of those men.

    Here in the 1911 census are Thomas Mortimer, Timber Merchant and boss of the Mill, and his family. Also guest Joshua Elliot, who would later marry daughter Edith and run the mill.

    Mason has another shot in the archive titled Mill and Boyne River, but it is the Blackwater unless I have the wrong Mill.
