Dear All
I was a telegram boy during the years 1958 to 1961 (at Mount Street and Norwood TDO London). I then progressed on to postman and PHG. I immigrated to Australia in 1966, am retired and live on the Sunshine Coast Queensland. When I look back on my working life, my short stint as a telegram boy holds the fondest memories.
I am in the throws of writing a history of me and my family (for all my Australian children and grand children). I cannot resource any material with regards to the Norwood TDO (motor cycle office) when did it close etc, I would love to include a photo of it in my journal, I have contacted the Post Office Archives on the matter – to no avail, may I wish you all a happy telegram (those death replied paid death ones were a bummer)
