Near the corner with Mitchell Lane, the Myrtle Tree which was one of many
coaching inns in the vicinity of Thomas Street closed in the early 1880’s when it
became the parcels office of the London & North Western Railway Company. The connection
with parcels seems to date from earlier times, in the 1860’s landlord Isaac Bizley
was also a mail contractor. This picture shows the building in the 1890’s.
