Fine example of a post office designed in a style known colloquially as "Post Office Georgian". The post office at nearby Radlett Image] is in a similar vein. Both buildings were designed by an architect (possibly Frederick Llewellyn) employed in the Government's Office of Works. On examination of this image, it would seem that the building had no entrance! In fact the original entrance was to the left of the building, but has been removed and replaced by a gate and passage way. Behind the building is a large telephone exchange from 1958.
