How does this letter-form communicate its location?

This sign interested me because it seems quite out of place for the town, the Sans Serif font is very art deco but it fits well with the arched tiles above.  The post office hasn't been there for years, it was converted into flats, but the sign has remained.  I always notice it when I walk past because it's so different from anything else in the town, I've tried to look up the history of it but haven't been able to find anything.
