The old Post Office organisation dominates this view eastwards from the big wheel in the Old Market Square. The building bottom right is a former telephone exchange, now converted to apartments, including additional storeys. Beyond, the large business with the rounded ends is the former central sorting office. This too has had additional floors built on, and has been converted to apartments. The tower block behind still functions as a telephone exchange.
