Run by Victor Lock and his son, with telephone number Bere Regis 1, this was the post office from 1927 till 1973, when it moved to West Street.
In the earlier years of the 20th century, Bere Regis had a reputation as the toughest town in Dorset, forcefully policed by the local constabulary.
Lydford was once an important halt on the South Western Railway, which skirted round Dartmoor to the north and passed through Tavistock and Bere Alston on its way to Plymouth.
Tamar barges such as the one in the centre of this picture would bring produce down from Calstock, Gunnislake and Bere Alston and land them at Cornwall Street in Devonport.
Although only a few miles from Plymouth to the south and Tavistock to the north, Bere Alston feels quite remote, situated on the peninsula between the Tamar and Tavy.
A neat Austin 8 is here heading for St Mary Bourne.
One of the largest surviving 16th-century houses in the county, this magnificent house was owned by the de la Bere family until around 1831.
The lane was originally called Bere Lane, and led to the churchyard.

Colonel Colfox gave more land for playing fields, in 1918, and it would then be re-designated as a Grammar School.
The nearest cottages need to be re-thatched; longstraw thatch needs to be patched regularly and re-coated every fifteen years.

These were installed all over the UK in the 1950s.
Television was still in its infancy when 'Prince of Thieves' was entertaining local people here at The Ritz.
A notable Victorian inhabitant of Bere Alston was Percival Johnson, who lived at Ward House from 1846-55.
They would be re-instated later.
The course of the canal meant that a section of the L&NWR line to Liverpool via Warrington and Speke would have to be re-routed; this resulted in the building of Latchford Viaduct.
The road behind the cart leads to Wherwell, and the horse is looking up the track to Bere Hill Farm.
Inside the church at Bere Regis are the grand tombs of the Turberville family, immortalised as the D'Urbervilles in Thomas Hardy's novel.
The line is now closed, although tracks still service a local quarry and Bere Alston.
It was built for Abbot Bere around 1500, and is now a rural life museum.
