Uxbridge, Windsor Street
I had forgotten Suiters 'quirky' cash system but I do remember another store called Manettas which was to the right of Uxbridge station. In 1966 it caused an uproar in town as it displayed a topless dress, which was the ...Read more

Lived in Leeds but spent two weeks holiday at the Haven - breakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner, supper - for most years in the 60's. (imagine the cost of that nowadays). Great memories of sports days, beach, summer pavillion (half way ...Read more

Peter Marshall 58 To 65
I'm as sure as I can be, that the little boy in the picture with the black coat is me. I would have been three to four years old (depending what time of year the picture was taken). I was the youngest at the home at that ...Read more

Oh the wonderful warm penny bread rolls at the tiny Bakery on the right hand side of the street! I remember the smell, the texture the taste. And I remember Mrs Rhymes too thanks so much for posting this...

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.
There was also a whipping post at Newark.
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.
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.
The post box on the right is the same style as is used today.
The Broadway also has a branch of the National Provincial Bank (third from the right) next to the post office, leading on to a greengrocer`s, an optician`s and a ladies` hairdresser amongst others.
In the centre is Clyde House, once the post office, which along with the village store is now to be found in the converted sandstone barn on the left.
It contained the magnificent municipal buildings completed in 1888 at a cost of £540,000—the Post Office, the Bank of Scotland, the Merchant's House and several hotels.
With the east and west wings added in 1891 and 1903, the building housed a post office, the county court and the headquarters of various societies, with the market in fields behind.
In the 1950s, Hornby Road featured Henty's confectioners and the post and telegraph office (left).
Beyond Cundys Lane is High Bank, a medieval hall-house; then comes the thatched 17th-century Tudor Cottage and the former post office.
Invariably the village shop and post office (left) was the social hub of village life, and Ardingly is no exception.
The further part of the yard in this view now has a roof supported on posts to give shelter to tables and chairs.
It links Post Street to the riverside walk on the west side of the Ouse.
Then, the tall building belonging to Brooks & Sons the Drapers, who boast of being established in 1831, has been replaced by the Post Office, which has a datestone GR 1938.
We are looking downhill from the post office (left) and Dunster's Library (right), where the proprietor was Sydney Mould.
One of Chilworth's buildings, originally designed to house the squire's hounds, became the village post office six years before this photograph was taken.
Books and postcards of the literary sisters are on sale at the Haworth Post Office.
Post offices had long opening hours. Delivery boys gather outside the main doors, carrying parcels to and from the city's shops and businesses.
The advent of parcel post in 1883, and the right of delivery to every household introduced in 1897, would have increased both the weight of the postmans sack and the length of his round.
One of Chilworth's buildings, originally designed to house the squire's hounds, became the village post office six years before this photograph was taken.
On the extreme left is Botley Post Office, and next to it is a chemists; the former is now a dress shop, and the latter remains a pharmacy.
