universal potteries

[maverick]

Does anybody remember Universal Potteries, behind Osborne Avenue, (formerly a laundry) owned by Percy Bolt.
I used to work there in the sixties and would like to hear from any workers from that time. I would also love to see some pictures of the potteries for the book that I am writing.

Thanks jimmywizz, brilliant postcard, If this was the laundry then it was one hell of a posh one.
