ANYBODY REMEMBER THE PARCEL OFFICE OPERTATED BY AN POST OVER THE BOXING CLUB ON THE MALL.

IN THE LATE 1950'S AND EARLY 1960'S THOUSANDS OF PARCELS WERE MAILED TO BRITAIN FOR CHRISTMAS.

ESPECIALLY POPULAR WERE TINS OF KIMBERLEY, MIKADO AND COCONUT CREAMS. THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE IN U.K. AT HIS TIME.EACH PARCEL HAD TO BE WRAPPED IN BROWN PAPER AND TWINE. kNOTS HAD TO BE SEALED WITH RED SEALING WAX. ALL PARCELS HAD TO HAVE A CUSTOMS DECLARATION FORM. CHANGED TIMES INDEED.
