This building was eracted on the site of the old Convict Depot hospital. The main cell block and excersise yard of the Convict Depot stood to the south of the present Post Office where the railway now runs.
The Post Office tower was somewhat shorter when originally built, but in 1901 its height was increased, and a public clock and bell were installed. The large bell still stands on the roof of the tower, but no longer sounds the hours.
The tower is an important landmark and reference point in Guildford.
