Ipoh's Old Post Office - from my own archives

This was the old General Post Office located behind the Town Hall. The road on left was called Post Office Road. Pix taken in 2020
 

The old Ipoh General Post Office (GPO) was located along Post Office Road now renamed Jalan Dato’ Sagor. Those years we didn’t have internet or social media so all communications was by post. We would get the mail 2 days latest after it was mailed. Call it snail mail but we received our mail in a determined time. Now it could be up from 2 days to a week. So much for good ol’ snail mail….but it WORKED.

The bicycle yard had alot of bicycles. Wonder what was the amount of delivery staff then.


..all the postal counters looked the same i thought except this counter was the customs counter located at the left side of the building  

The postal personel ..delivery staff, counter staff, collecting the evening letters for sorting .....

..the customs staff, the officers sitting behind ....quite a staright forward process

..the postal bicycle yard ...at the open yard between the town hall and the post offce
