Post and Telegraph office. The precursor to An Post

Department of Posts and Telegraphs. This department was split up decades ago, with overseeing of this side of it being taken up by Telecom Éireann, which became Eircom, now Eir.
The 7 symbol is the & symbol in Irish.
It was invented as part of the first shorthand, by Cicero’s personal secretary, Tiro.
Irish is the last living language to still use a symbol for Tiro’s shorthand, as far as I’m aware.
Poist agus Telegrafa…as Gaeilge.
Oh Gosh … it is one of those I am „that“ old LOL
P&T (Post and Telegraphs) split into An Post and Telecom Eireann. Telecom Eireann became Eircom and eventually Eir.

Blimey, you make me feel my age!
It’s interesting around my area, there’s some of these with the year on it, some Telecom Éireann ones, some Eir, some Eircom, some NTL, some UPC, bit of variety about it

Post and Teleplgraphs – old state company that did phone lines up to perhaps the 1980s
Nice Nikes 👍
Post & Telegraph, the precursor to Telecom Eireann, the precursor to eircom, the precursor to eir.
Nice to see some of the old ones have survived. the old post office vans were lovely as well: dark green with gold and black lettering. There were replaced with a hideous orange and white with black lettering.
There used to be a running joke. What to P&T do all day? T&P. (Tea and Pee).
We used to call it the P and T.
It’s a PIT 😆
It indicates you’re much younger than me.
They indicate that I an getting old – I knew exactly what „P seacht T“ meant!
The telephone exchange in the town I grew up in back in the 1980s was called „the P & T“. You picked up your telephone handset, didn’t dial or press any buttons and the voice of a local woman from your town would say „Hello.“ Then you’d say „I’d like Tullamore 393“ and she’d put you through.
Their old vans looked like this.
