The Fortrose Post And Telegraph Office

The Fortrose Post And Telegraph Office was opened in 1884. The business was originally conducted in Mr Elliot's store, and was afterwards removed to the present building which is of wood and iron, and contains a public office and a residence for the postmistress. There are fourteen private letter boxes, and mails are received and despatched daily. It is the principal post office for the surrounding district, extending over twenty miles, and there are sub-offices at Tokonui Gorge, Quarry Hills, Waikawa Valley, Niagara, Waikawa, Chaslands, Otara and Haldene.
