The late 18th-century post office on the left, with the Victorian Falcon Hotel straight ahead, contribute to a charming square; here, then as now, personal service and choice were important.

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 far side is the modern brick branch of the Midland Bank, while on the immediate right are the Post Office, chemists and opticians.
The post box is a unique Victorian model dated 1856.
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'.

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.
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.

The young man may be delivering post, judging by his bag.
Bournville Cocoa can be seen advertised in the window of the local post office and stores - a reminder of the days when the village shop was an integral part of the community.
An excellent view of the post-WWII town looking across the railway lines into the town.
All Saints' Church in the distance survived bombing and post-war clearance, along with a thatched pub, the quaintly-named Barking Dickey, which later became a greengrocer and then a bank.
