Opposite the Post Office a precipitous flight of 111 stone steps scales the hill from the town's square to Vernon Place.
On the right is the old post office and the agricultural hall.
Now used as offices, the Post Office in Forster Square was erected in 1887. The fine open square also housed the nearby Midland Station and warehouses.
A modern mini-market now houses Stokesby Post Office, and the building shown here has become a candle maker's workshop and a tearoom with a charming garden beside the river.
On the right we have Robertson, a chemist, and the local post office adding to the many shopping facilities for the inhabitants. The odd thing is that there are no banks in the village today.
Extra road traffic has also made the road outside the busy village stores and post office (just to the left of the car) a frequent bottleneck.
On the right the weatherboard house is Retreat House, for much of the 20th century a post office, and now much extended.
Mr Chappell`s newsagent`s and post office is fondly recalled by local residents but is now a Londis store.
The shop names visible on the right, moving right to left are Charles Saies, draper; Herbert, ironmonger; Picture Post; the County Stores and Oliver's.
On the left, the lumpy roofs of the 14th-century Old Post Office plunge and pitch, the stout chimneys poking at the sky.
On the far side is the modern brick branch of the Midland Bank, while on the immediate right are the Post Office, chemists and opticians.
Note the charming Kate Greenaway-type silhouette sign above the village Post Office on the left, which uses the locally-preferred spelling of the village name - 'Youlgrave'.
Street furniture is changing with the introduction of the ugly concrete street lamp post outside the timber- framed building that was Beach's bookshop.There is a striking coat of arms high up
This shot includes Overy's hairdresser's, the post office, Charlton's newsagent's, and (on the extreme left) the Century Cinema. The latter was opened in 1928 by the actress Evelyn Laye.
The cottage opposite was at one time the village post office.

Fred Atter's grocery shop and café and the old post office went to make way for the footings of the A1 flyover, which now dominates this scene.
The White Hart was once a posting house from which stagecoaches made daily runs to Hull, Doncaster and Sheffield.
Further along Park Street we find Lower Gordon Road; the Post Office, run by a Mr H L Love, is on the corner. The premises have since been converted into a private house.
Next door was the telephone exchange, and the post office was on the corner.
The post box is a unique Victorian model dated 1856. The stocks are thought to have come from Clewer in the late 1920s. The figures on the wall are no longer there.
The buildings on the left have now all gone, along with the enamelled sign for 'Spillers Shapes for all dogs', but the post office is still there, now with a new telephone box.
Both the post office, run by H J Harding when the photograph was taken, and the 16th-century Eagle public house, are still open for business.
On the extreme left of the photograph is the village post office, selling minerals and sweets for the tourists - so does the corner shop in the distance on the right.
