Sapcote, The Post Office c.1965

More about this scene
On the stony Stanton Road, Domesday Scepecote (meaning 'shelter for sheep') was home to the powerful Bassett family. A small medieval village with its almshouses of 1847 and school of 1819, it played an important part in the production of the original Red Leicester cheese. All this is now reduced to the anonymous, all-purpose architecture of the post office and similar expanding contemporary development, particularly on the north side of the village. The K6 telephone box (centre) is the design highlight.
