Hertford Post Office

Hertford Post Office was built for the Hertford Poor Estate in 1890 by H.Norris at a cost of £2000.

The Estate owned the site, on which stood Savage's Cooper and Basket shop, with Chequer Yard to the rear.

The new Post Office was let to The Government for £120 a year until 1911, when it was sold to The Government.

The first floor was occupied by the first telephone exchange, whilst at the rear was the sorting office. The original entrance was on the left of the building, which can still be seen, but this was altered to a side entrance when the telephone exchange and sorting office were relocated to Greencoates.

The upper floors are now rooms for the adjoining Master's House Hotel.

The original post office was on the site now occupied by Saks hairdresser.
