1913–1930 1952–1956
From 1 October 1910, the seven small coastal villages of Lumley, Goderich, Adonkia, Hamilton, Sussex,
Borboh and Kent were served by a twice-weekly foot post. This enabled the offices of Goderich and Hamilton
to be closed. The service remained, with minor route changes, until 1931. Only Patrol Post No. 1 appears to
have been used on the foot post. The second handstamp was used on the TPO after World War II.
Internal letter to Moyamba with Type 210.02 applied on the TPO, with arrival backstamp of 21 September 1955.
