I Sat There

We posted the picture below showing the back of Governor House on our ISTEL ex
employees facebook group with the question: “Can anyone point to window and say "I Sat
There?” Here’s a selection of the replies we got.

Lesley Rogers

I was the other side and regularly saw lorries and vans getting stuck under the

bridge

Pat Morgan

That was almost a monthly occurrence ! Amazing no pedestrians were injured

(or worse) with some of the debris that came off the sides

Lesley Rogers

I know! They had to let the tyres down

Dave Handley

I remember it well - a squeal of brakes, a loud crunching sound and we”d rush

to the window to watch them let the tyres down and attempt to reverse out .

Phil Coathup

Me too - 5th Floor long wing. Good view of the hospital and dentist.
