Scunthorpe Post Office and Telephone Exchange

Architect: John Haswell 1939

Opened on 2nd March 1939 and closed in 1992.

A rare excursion into modernism by the inter-war year’s Office of Works architects, as are both Beckenham and Penarth post offices.

British Post Office Architects.

Beckenham

Architect: Frederick Llewellyn 1939

Penarth

Architect Albert Myers 1936

Walking back to the train station, following a day out at the steel works, I espied the Post Office.

Next door is the sorting office.

And next for to the sorting office is the telephone exchange.
