About Royal Mail Twickenham Station


Roadside view of the old Royal Mail Sorting Office in Twickenham

This area started out as a Brewery in the early 17th century until around 1927.

It was around 1930 that the area was then commissioned for use as a Royal Mail Sorting Office making use of its Rail and road connections.

It was then closed and sold for redevelopment while the Sorting office moved to a nearby industrial estate around 2015.

Brewery Wharf now, 

 

This cache is placed a short(ish) walk away from Twickenham train station and is down Twickenham Junction Rough which is a new green walkway created as part of the redevelopment.

Only accessible during daylight hours, see signage at entrances for info.

Small container, will need tweezers to remove the log, please bring your own pen.

Difficulty changed 10/04/19 after collective feedback and the likely hood of thorn intervention.
