The Rocks, post box

This historic post box is located along George Street at The Rocks, opposite the Museum of Contemporary Art. There aren't many of this syle of post box still around in Sydney.

  1. Does look quite old. Do you know how old?

    1. Nod... I would also like to know when it was designed and where it has been for the last 80 or 100 years.
      Are there any others that survived?

    2. I found some information that suggests that they were introduced around World War 1 but I'm not sure how accurate that is. I haven't seen any others of this type around Sydney in a very long time but a lot of the pillar boxes remain and some are still in use.
