The General Post Office, Kingston upon Hull

The General Post Office (GPO), established in England in the 17th century, was the monopoly state postal system and telecommunications carrier of the United Kingdom. The GPO was abolished by the Post Office Act 1969, which transferred its assets to the Post Office, changing it from a Department of State to a statutory corporation. Responsibility for telecommunications was given to Post Office Telecommunications, the successor of the GPO Telegraph and Telephones department. For subsequent changes, including Royal Mail Group plc (created 2002), Post Office Ltd (2002) and International Distribution Services (2022) and further details, see Wikipedia: LinkExternal link
