Through The Mailbox. Up the escalators to the very top level, and then straight out the back. You go through the doors at the back and down the stairs next to the canal - Penny Blacks is along the canal side, the last bar along.

what on earth is mail box, I've just written down the instructions all fine but what is mail box. is it actually a red letter box but massive, and we have to drink some potion to get in or out of it?? Hmm I hope I get out and don't end up stuck in a postbox for ever!

See y'all soon, lets hope the wine doesn't flow tonight, although it's tasting good already!

Cheers

Oi! Early night! 😉 I have that vision of this Mailbox too, with this gargantuan Postman Pat and an astonishingly large cat - hope I'm not going to be disappointed! 😱

I hope I don't have nightmares now of a oversized postman pat, that could be quite disturbing.

no worries too tied for a proper sess, been in the garden all day shovelling compost!

That garden should be Chelsea Show standard by now! 🙂
 
The Mailbox is a posh shopping centre basically. It's all very modern etc. It's just off Broad St, and is huge and red. It's so called because it used to be the Royal Mail's sorting office!

Northe, when you get off the coach, turn around (so you're facing the direction the coach came down the road) and you'll see a roundabout. Go left at the roundabout, down the road the Wetherspoons is on (can't remember the name of the pub). That's Corporation Street, just basically keep walking down it, you'll go past loads and loads of bus stops. Give me a call when you get off the coach and I'll come and meet you - if you start walking though we should meet somewhere along that road! If you reach the end of the road with the ramp on it, just hold fire. 🙂
 
Hi All

Have an absolutely fabulous day tomorrow!
