Windsor Post Office

The first Post Office in Windsor opened in 1828 and was housed in a number of different private buildings, including The Doctors House in Thompson Square. This building designed by Colonial Architect James Barnet and built by Michael Leeds was opened in 1880. Thomas Cambridge II was postman at that time and the family tradition continued with his son Thomas III continuing on as postman until 1925. A single storey wing in Fitzgerald Street was added in the late 1890s to accommodate the telegraph and telephone service. In 1990 a new post office building was constructed in New Street and the former post office continues to be used for commercial purposes.

The records of post offices and personnel who worked in them come under the jurisdiction of the National Archives of Australia.
