GPO cable marker post, Bangor
The old George V GPO cable marker on Downshire Road in Bangor, previously seen in Image I returned to check if it was still extant - clearly it is but appears to have had a good shove and is now at an angle, possibly when the new gate post behind was installed. I also checked the rear for a foundry name but it appeared blank.
See the site at https://gpo-markers.derektp.co.uk/markers for more information and the locations of these marker posts.

GPO cable marker, Downshire Road, Bangor
Old GPO cable marker on Downshire Road. Would appear to date from sometime between 1910-36 (probably towards the earlier date given when the road was laid out).
This was placed by the General Post Office as a marker plate for their underground Cable network. Originally this would have had a plate giving the distance in feet and inches from post to the underground cable, but this has been removed. Often mistaken as bench marks, the arrow actually signifies that the GPO is a government department.
Any other information that I can add on this is welcomed - a quick search of this site would seem to suggest that examples such as this are rare; another in Lisburn is seen at Image
