More about this scene

The post office (right) may have been purposely built in the late 19th century; outside is the red letter box and telephone kiosk. Beyond it is a late 17th-century thatched house with a tall brick chimney stack. The pantile-roofed building is a workshop or old smithy where a cart is being repaired. Next door and in the yard behind is Windsor Motors.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Does anyone remember the 'Valet' shop that used to be near the High Street entrance to the Village Park? It was sort of a haberdashers but the lady also used to take in dry cleaning and shoe mending. It was a portakabin type building and there was one lady who used to run it. I wish we'd taken a photo.  We moved to Brampton around 1965 and I remember it being around for a while after that.
