 | | A photograph I have seen of Arnotts, taken sometime post 1916 but before the GPO was rebuilt, does indeed show a second, broadly similar tower - but one which is both smaller in volume, and lower, than the original. |
 | | Arnotts was assembled over the 19th century with a collection of standard Georgian buildings (no's 11-15 Henry Street), then called Cannock, White and Co, with John Arnott as part owner, and took over the store in 1865. |
 | | The tower was removed in the 1920s as it had been seen as unstable (something caused by a little riot or something in the GPO circa Easter 1916). |
