The post office at Ayot was used by George Bernard Shaw in a rather lesser known play, 'A Village Wooing'.
On the left side of Ceylon House is the post office and to the right the grocer's and provision's shop, both run by William Lowrey. Today both businesses are in the right half of the building.
The Post Office, with its central turret, was built in 1896 by Sir Henry Tanner. It was erected on the site of the old Mixed Cloth Hall, which was opened in 1756.
Opposite them, Briggs Stores is now the post office, and Cash & Co beyond is now a kebab shop.
There was also a whipping post at Newark.
Unfortunately, Kingsway Post Office has been closed.
The lampposts have changed, and the telephone cables and posts have disappeared. The houses do not appear to have changed, and even the grass verge is still in good condition.
The biggest change is that the shop is now twice as big: it includes the post office, and takes up the whole of the downstairs of the semi-detached house.
In the aftermath of the Great War, the post office still bears a recruiting poster. It is interesting to speculate whether the 'Local Views' in the postcard rack are by the Frith company.
The Morris 1000 is heading west past the post office towards Tudor House - with its steeply pitched roof of stone tiles, it is one of Mickleton's notable buildings.
Here we see the Yorkshire Penny Bank (left) in the 1893 building which was originally the post office.
Opposite them, Briggs Stores is now the post office, and Cash & Co beyond is now a kebab shop.
The post- war Red and White bus is probably the five past two going to Crickhowell on a Sunday afternoon.
There is a poster for cocoa in the window of the Co-op on the left. The Kings Arms signboard in a blanked window (left) proclaims post horses for hire.
Dunmow`s post office has been in the red brick building (centre) since 1939. A barn, used for meetings by local dissenters, once stood on the site.
Note the Gilbert Scott-designed telephone box on the right, together with the pillar box and sign to the post office. The pantiled roofs of the cottages are typical of this part of North Yorkshire.
Along with a post office there were a grocery, a butcher's, a cobbler's, a tailor's and a baker's in the village at this time.
Led by the fiddle-player on the right, and probably lubricated by the pub behind him, Morris dancers perform on the village green in the year that ended post-war rationing.
Not far from the Harris Gallery is the new Head Post Office, shown here in the year that it first opened for business.
Further along the road is the main post office and at the end, distinguished by its clock tower, is the Town Hall, which was built in 1880.
His son Robert and his grandchildren continued at the shop and post office until its closure in September 1975. The wooden buildings were replaced by a house in the 1980s.
The little girl, strapped in for safety and concentrating on hanging on, looks much more Victorian than post-war, and should be in the Lifeboat Day Parade.
In this view the Beehive shop and the dormered cottage beyond survive, but the buildings beyond have been rebuilt for Townsends and the Post Office.
Opened only five years before this picture was taken, the fare was 1d, the old penny being worth about .4 of a post-decimalisation one.
