GPO Cable Marker, Glenavy

Image: © Rossographer Taken: 1 May 2013

What I assume is an old GPO cable marker on the Crumlin Road in Glenavy - although I have seen other kinds, this style is new to me so clarifications are welcome. It is marked 'GPO' at the top Image and appears to have had some numbers at the base, but these have mostly worn off and are unreadable. Possibly this is a "street pillar" - see http://www.britishtelephones.com/gpo/pillar.htm .
