This is probably one of the top spots in the UK at the moment - pretty much undamaged, not over-run by the urbeckz tourbus and with a nice bit of sketchy (and noisy) access it has definitely helped preserve this place.

An enormous truly stunning neo-classical art deco post office smack bang in the middle of a large city, the main hall easily being one of the more beautiful things I have ever photographed. It was bought by the city council a few years back and the developer wants to turn it into yet more awful student accomodation but so far all the plans have been rejected, which is a good thing.

What. A. Location.

Those keys are awesome. And the expanse of that place is amazing.

Great pics!

Great looking place. i would suggest straightening up those lines in photoshop or lightroom though, it would definitely improve the shots.

Second. It would have been extremely hard for me to not walk out of there laden with like 20lbs of keys. Though with your description of the POE, it probably would have been extremely hard for me to walk out of there laden WITH 20lbs of keys.

This is a fantastic set and that location is breathtaking. Thanks for sharing! I hope this lovely building can remain as pristine as this. It doesn't deserve scrappers and vandals
