Title: Parcel Coach in front of Slough Post Office, High Street. About 1900 [Go to resource]
Description: At the turn of the twentieth century, the parcel coach was a horse-drawn service running between Windsor and Hounslow. The coach carried an armed guard who can be seen with a pistol in his holster in the foreground. The parcels were stacked on top of the coach in wicker boxes as well as inside. Three horses are harnessed three abreast to pull the coach. Sacks of mail are lying on the ground in front of a group of postal workers.
