The Post Office is a modest two storey red-brick building built in 1959, until a decade ago, this building also housed Sligo Town's mail sorting facilities.
The tall thin building which can be seen a few yards down the side road to the right of the post office, was the manual telephone exchange, another casualty of modern times, and to its right is the main entrance to the plush new Glasshouse Hotel.
Many years ago, the statue of Mr P.A. McHugh, the Nationalist owner of 'The Sligo Champion' newspaper stood here, we saw the statue outside Sligo Town Hall a little while ago.
The statue actually stood in the middle of the road junction in front of the post office. However the statue was moved to its present position beside Sligo Town Hall many years ago.
Leave the post office by walking in the same Easterly direction, towards another red-brick building on the opposite side of the road, the Yeats Memorial Building.
