The British Post Office

The photograph shows the British post office during the time it was located on the Petit Socco, from 1895 to 1908. It is adapted from Fig 2.3 on p. 31 of my book and also appears in Richard's book.

There are many old postcards of the Petit Socco, some of them showing the post offices, but on very few can you pick out the British post office. The unusual shape of the lettering on the British Post Office sign above the entrance sometimes enables one to pick it out.

Above the British post office was the Bristol Hotel.
