EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the Postmaster, H.A. Godby, and his dedicated team of post office staff at their bustling workplace in Kingston-upon-Thames during the festive season of 1904. The image, published in the Surrey Comet's Christmas Number, offers a rare glimpse into the daily operations of a post office over a century ago. The Postmaster, H.A. Godby, stands proudly in the center, donning a formal suit and a serious expression, overseeing the efficient sorting and distribution of mail. Surrounding him are his dedicated employees, all dressed in their uniforms, diligently working to ensure the timely delivery of letters and parcels during the holiday rush. The counter is filled with customers, both men and women, waiting patiently to send or receive their correspondence. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, with parcels and sacks of mail piled high on the counter and shelves. The post office staff expertly handle the influx of customers and mail, demonstrating their professionalism and commitment to their important role in the community. The photograph also provides a fascinating glimpse into the decor of the post office during the holiday season. The walls are adorned with festive garlands and wreaths, adding a touch of cheer to the otherwise functional space.
