A bit of a dog’s dinner, having so much architectural detail on such a small building, perhaps a rather Victorian sensibility (even though the date on the left of the facade is 1904), but still a gem of what would once have been considered a public utility. If anyone is doubt that it should be preserved, just look at the utter soul-crushing rubbish that has been built around there since!
It's a bit bonkers, in the style of its time, but appealing all the same. Much better to see it converted into some kind of community resource than into fabulously overpriced flats.
Reviving the sorting office would be a good move, following the N4 xmas post catastrophe! The missing parcels of the last month arrived at last a couple of days ago - all posted mid December.
I don't think the issue with delayed parcels was lack of facilities as much as it was lack of staff due to Covid. A sorting/collection office there would be convenient though.
