OUR readers have shared their favourite memories from a city pub which is set to close in the new year. 

The Postal Order, which is currently owned by Wetherspoons, announced its 'last orders' will take place on Sunday, January 8. 

The pub, in Foregate Street, has been on the market for over a year. 

In 1997, the Postal Order first opened and has been part of the city for the past 25 years.

Although some of our readers still remember the pub when it was previously a telephone exchange.

Dyson Booth commented on the Worcester News Facebook page and said: "I still remember it as the telephone exchange I started work at in the early 60’s after leaving school."

Other readers shared fond memories of the Postal Order. 

Sharon Grubb said she remembers dancing the day away in the pub while Tom Jones was visiting the city in August. 

She said: "We had a brilliant afternoon on the Saturday Tom Jones was in Worcester.

"Several Welsh men started singing and had the whole pub singing with them absolutely brilliant."

Others said they will miss meeting their friends for breakfast at the pub.

Nick Laugher said: "Used to go there a lot I used to meet my friend there I went by train and he used to get the bus had many breakfasts there."

Lydia Brookes also said she will miss the all-day breakfasts at the pub.

She said: "I remember going there a few times when I was pregnant with my son and having a Burrito with some work colleagues and all-day breakfasts with my mum and stepdad."

Former employee Timothy Clack said: "I worked for spoons for 13 years and spent my last 5 years at the Postie. Far and away the best pub I worked at."

The pub is a quick walk away from Worcester Foregate Street which made it the perfect pit stop for a quick drink.

John Arsenal Connor commented: "Shame nice place been in there for a quick drink a few times before getting the train."

However, quite a lot of people said they will not miss the long walk to the toilets, which seems like a rite of passage for most Wetherspoons across the country.

But most people said they are sad to see the beloved pub go and one even described it as his second home.

Steve Cid Lawless said: "Omg my second home is going, it's a dark day for second homes..."
