The 7 symbol is the & symbol in Irish.
It was invented as part of the first shorthand, by Cicero’s personal secretary, Tiro.
Irish is the last living language to still use a symbol for Tiro’s shorthand, as far as I’m aware.

Nice to see some of the old ones have survived. the old post office vans were lovely as well: dark green with gold and black lettering. There were replaced with a hideous orange and white with black lettering.
