WCDO London

[MG1966]

Hi came across this sight after reading about the illegal rave that took place at the old WCDO builing in New Oxford St WC1 on Halloween night - Shame to see the old place get trashed, had some good days there from 86-90 and by strange chance walked past the boarded up building the day before the rave! I Was wondering when it closed down ? I heard from someone a good few years back that the outward sorting went first to MP and that for a while it was a delivery office before the WC deliveries moved to Rathbone place.Always a strike or two going on but met some top blokes there.

I think it closed down in 1993, and has been left empty and boarded up since then.
It must be worth quite a lot. Many of the staff transferred to Mount Pleasant.
