Letters brought by the other Mails are ready for delivery in 30 minutes after their arrival, until 7 P.M., at which period the Delivery Window is closed. At half past & P.M. it opens again for the delivery of Letters arriving by the Stourport, third Railway, and Holyhead Mails, and it continues open until 10 PM.

There are two general deliveries by Letter Carriers throughout the town, the first commencing at a quarter after 8 A.M., and the second at a quarter after 5 P.M., except on Sundays, when there is no afternoon delivery. Any delay in the arrival of a Mail occasions a corresponding delay in the delivery.
