Long Ago Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Worked from the PWD depot at Moonshine Lane terminus opposite the library early 70s. The head offices were situated at Fitzwilliam Gate near the bottom of the Moor. There was a pet shop nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeWasteney Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 My Ex Brother In Law worked at the PWD for many years until his name was Raymond Severns, originally from Woodhouse but after marriage lived on the Manor Estate, Beaumont Way, just off Beaumont Road, and around 1978 moved to Handsworth If still alive he will be mid to late 80's now V.M.Hutchinson - Malaysia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I remember, it was just a bit further down from the old police station/house ( across the road from Jet petrol station) i think theres new appartments built on there now. It was called West depot.
