Life in Early Poverty Bay

The Old Post Office

The Old Post Office.

In those days the Post Office was at the back of the present building, but prior to that it stood where the present Post Office clock is situated. It consisted of a four or five room shanty with a verandah and residents knocked on a slide for their mail. If the officer in charge happened to be busy at the time of the knock, and it was repeated, his language when he came out was not always according to Government regulations.
