This pub was Beeston’s main post office, built in the mid 1930s. The post office, formerly in the High Road, occupied a new building in the square early this century. In 1934, the post office was rebuilt at the junction of Chilwell Road and Foster Avenue and is now this Wetherspoon pub. More recently, in 1995, the Royal Mail’s new Nottingham District Sorting Office was built on Padge Road.
