More about this scene

The Post Office c1960 Buckland St Mary Post Office is still a post office, but one wonders for how much longer. The only real change in this view is a bungalow built in the plot beside the car. Frith photographers certainly liked to take views of post offices, doubtless because the resulting postcards could be sold in them.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

I started at the school in 1961 as a day boy. The school also had boarders who lived at what had been the original school building off Court Barton which was also the girls school in my day. Looking at the photographs in this collection, the school was very much the same when I was there. Now it is a first school called Greenfylde. the school was founded in 1549 so it was a very old institution indeed. When I look back I am glad I was able to go to the school.
