This post mill is thought to date from the 17th century, and is perhaps the oldest working post mill in the country.
It looks as if the Austin A30 has hit the post box!
Girls, perhaps the shop assistants, crowd in the doorway of the post office, while at least one fisherman is walking up Fore Street.
A very rural Post Office - part cottage, part shop. Note the Victorian post box and the arrow for the Telegraph Office.
The post office and shop survived until about 1995, when the premises were taken over by Weddinghouse, a business selling and hiring wedding dresses and costumes.
The Post Office (right) was situated here for a few years after a fire in 1952 at the present Post Office, which was caused by petrol hoarding during the Suez Crisis.
The post office cum garage is now a house named, unsurprisingly, The Old Post Office. To the left is the churchyard wall.
The post mill is dated 1752. It ceased working in 1914, and later all the machinery was removed. Restoration was carried out in 1966-68, and the sails turned again for the first time in 1998.
This fine post mill of 1835 still tops Argos Hill. It has the Sussex tailpost fan-tackle seen on the famous Sussex post mills (eg, Jill windmill, Clayton near Pyecombe).
This picture shows the village post office, delightfully housed in a picturesque thatched cottage. Most of Milton Malsor's buildings date from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Now a truly lovely private home, this would have been an extremely grand post office for such a remote village.
The Old Farm Stores and Post Office, on the left, was originally a domestic house. By 1834 it had become the farmhouse for Hutton Farm. It closed down as a shop and post office in the late 1970s.
The lady with the pram, near the clipped bushes (left), is outside the Post Office and Stores, which closed in 1975, although the post box remains.
The row of white posts form an attractive (and safe) barrier at the pond`s edge.
On the left is the post office: back in 1822, when Charles Greaves was post-master, it cost a small fortune to send a letter.
The shop next to the post office used to belong to E C Whitney, a manufacturer of clerical clothing such as cassocks, surplices and stoles.

The row of cottages on the left is known as Station Terrace, with the post office close to the camera with a post box and stamp machine set into the wall.
The 1922 post office has taken the place of Castle House which went in 1913 and if you look you will see that the post office building line exactly corresponds to the line of Castle House boundary
In our photograph, the village stores and post office were sheltered from the roadway behind trimmed hedges.
The Post Office has moved into three different buildings between here and the Shoulder of Mutton.

The post office and general store were essential parts of village life, so not surprisingly they feature on many of Frith's postcards; these were later sold at the post office counter and the village store
