universal potteries
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.

Re: universal potteries
yes they were behind Lord Street. I used to buy my pasties from the shop that was on the corner of Lord street, I survived.
