Item Detail
Summary
Wagerup Post Office (Ruins). About 1944 a new post office building was erected by local residents who raised the necessary money by running dances and asking for donations. The land was apparently donated by the Browns. The three trustees of the new post office were Alf Brown, Merrick Tyler and Albert Trotter. From the late 1950's until its closure the post office was run by the Dundon family. Wagerup Post Office closed in 1977. This building is the only remnant of the Wagerup townsite. Bricks made by Noel Skinn and Noel Palmer The Wagerup Post Office also held the telephone exchange.
