Burnley, New Post Office 1906

More about this scene
This building exhibits all the usual features of a post office, including letter boxes, a clock and an information board giving details about collection times. The photograph was taken from Victoria Street. Notice the stone setts in the foreground, and the odd angle at which they are laid. The men and boys outside the GPO are very much aware that a photographer is at work. On the right, one man wearing a cloth cap and another a bowler are standing side by side. In the days when this photograph was taken, the type of hat worn often indicated status.
