Outside The Met Quarter

The Post-office in Victoria-street was opened by the Duke of York. The site covers nearly two acres of ground. In front of the second-floor there are four figures representing England and Scotland and Ireland and Wales, the two pairs standing hand-in-hand. Below there are figures typifying Commerce and Industry, and Electricity and Engineering.
The building was considered absolutely proof against fire, very little woodwork being used, except in the way of furniture and fittings. The inner vestibule and the postmaster's staircase, inside the west door in Victoria-street, are of Hopton Wood Marble. The carving in front of the office was designed and executed by Mr Edwin Owen Griffith, of 77, Kitchen Street, Liverpool. Mr Henry Tanner, chief surveyor of H.M. Office
