Following my appointment to H M Customs and Excise in 1952 my first posting was to the Cash Branch which was on the Ground Floor on the North side. I left there in summer 1954 to work at Victoria Wharf, Limehouse/Regents Canal Dock, E14.<br />During some of that period I cycled from my "digs" in Blackheath and Lewisham, being allowed to keep my cycle in the basement. Difficult to imagine the same journey by cycle in 2011!<br />I have no problem with the look(s) of the building although I do not welcome the alteration to the foyer.which is as far as I got on a recent visit.<br />David FloodDavid Floodnoreply@blogger.com
