Description: | Each year at Christmas time, extra staff were employed to process the huge volume of letters and parcels that passed through Mount Pleasant General Post Office. Inadequate wrapping would fall off many of the parcels every year. In 1956, 13,000 were rewrapped by post office staff.
From Mount Pleasant, parcels were sent to the mail rail 70 feet (21 metres) beneath the Farringdon site to be transported to their destinations. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Henry Grant Collection/Museum of London | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | December 1952 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
