At the bottom of the map, the route of the Waterloo and City line, and
in the middle the "Post Office" after which today's St Paul's station
was originally named. The station building itself is shown to the north
of Newgate St; today probably in the middle of a traffic island next to
the entrance to the BT HQ.


Post Office station was part of/adjacent to the Central Telegraph Office
on the NE corner of Newgate Street and King Edward Street.


The map shows the station on the NW corner.


Sorry, that's what I meant. I can still see the overgrown ruins boarded up
and covered in greenery, from the days when 2-12 Gresham Street and Armour
House were the hub of PO telephony, long before BT Centre was built.
