Printed Ephemera — 1966-1976
Postcard, photographic postcard
The Post Office Tower was officially opened by the British Prime Minister Harold Wilson on 8 October 1965. It was opened to the public by Postmaster-General Anthony Wedgwood Benn the following year. The Tower was a symbol of Britain's telecommunications revolution. Standing at a height of 620 feet, it was also Britain's tallest building and quickly became a major tourist attraction. This postcard shows a child throwing money into the charity pool at the Tower.
