<p style="margin: 0 0 1em 0; color: black;">The sorting facility probably
outgrew the building. In Nashville, TN, USA, where I live, the 1930s Main
Post Office facility, next to a railway station, is now an art museum. The
new Main Post Office facility is at least 20 times larger, and located near
the main airport. It includes a small customer service area, but the main
function of the building is sorting.</p>

<div>ok, the term might still be in use, but if you're not used to
the term it's evoking pictures like this: <a

I suspect that is still relevant for many hand written envelopes
& awkward shaped parcels<br>

<div>according to wikipedia mail_centre is the word:</div>

<div>according to google, sorting office is most important in
dictionaries and mail centre is most important in the real world
;-)<br>

This is interesting. From what wikipedia says, the building I was
tagging in Britain may not be classed as a sorting office/mail
centre any more, but a 'delivery office'. (only 28 taginfo of a
claimed 1,356 - maybe a good quarterly project for Talk-GB?).<br>
