Photo memories from Bramley in the 1990s

Volunteers were needed to help staff a brand new Bramley eating place in March 1984. CATS kitchen - part of the St Catherine's Mill 'palace for the unemployed' - was already fully equipped for serving hot and cold food. But it was short of around 40 catering staff needed to feed hungry workers at the converted mill and occasional visitors from outside. Pictured is catering administrator Peter Forsaith in the new kitchens.

Number 162 had been the location of Bramley Post Office since 1854. In 1892 Mr. J.W. Dawson took over the position of Post-master from his father and by the turn of the century it had become a thriving business. 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 in front 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.
