Tirril
My name is Sandra and I am the little girl on the right of the picture. I lived at the Post Office with my grandparents, Mr & Mrs Robinson and I have very fond memories of growing up in the village. The bigger girl with me was Ann Tatters who used to take me to school at Yanwath.

Frees Post Office And Grocery Longworth
Having spent the first seven years of my life in Longworth, I remember Free's shop vividly. The Frees were friendly, welcoming people. Mr Free had curly hair and wore a tan-coloured kind of overall-coat. ...Read more

Mrs Barrett, the Post Mistress at that time, gave me a 1947 farthing for luck when I joined the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in June 1952. She said she had given one to village lads in WW2 and most of them came ...Read more

Childhood In The Village!!
I was devastated in 1964 when my mother told me we were to leave the village so that my mother could pursue her dream of owning her own small business elsewhere. It was a dreadful culture shock, one that has remained ...Read more

We are looking back from Bath Square, with the General Post Office on the right.
In common with other mills in the area, it is a post mill, with the mill revolving round the central post.
The village is scattered along the margins of a long green, and Frith's photographer took his near-obligatory post office view on the north side of the green.
One of Tintagel's most famous buildings, the Old Post Office dates from the 14th century and was used as a post office in the 19th century.
On the other side of the road is a lamp post advertising the post office. Today the post office is gone, but a modern, larger lamp of similar style is attached to the wall of Carlton House, No 25.
This must rank as one of the most picturesque post offices to be found anywhere in the country. Entry is through the door on the left, and the bulk of the building is a private house.
There is very much a Victorian suburban feel here, apart from the 1950s concrete swan-necked lamp-post.
Many of these buildings have been demolished to make way for Foundry Walk and the post office.
The garage on the left has been replaced by two houses, but almost fifty years later, the post office still sports its black exposed timber on white rendering.
The post office stores continues to supply the needs of the village, and even the letterbox, advising that 'letters containing coin, paper money, or jewellery should not be posted in the
By the mid 1950s, tourism was starting to occupy a more important position in the Dales economy, alongside the traditional industries of farming and lead mining.
Because Samlesbury Hall was so near, the area was popular with walkers and day trippers in the post-war years.
In common with other mills in the area, it is a post mill, with the mill revolving round the central post.
One of the original 'post and socket' mills, suspended on a post and turned into the wind by means of a tailpole, High Salvington dates back to about 1700 and was the first mill in England to be insured
This is not only the most westerly but perhaps also the most ugly and ill-sited post box in England, but it is clearly a place to post those souvenir postcards after a long cycle ride – perhaps from John
Looking across from within the churchyard is the post office, which occupies an 18th-century stone house.
The house to the right was built c1965 by W A Leeks, who owned the adjacent Post Office and stores. Both were purchased by Tony Green in 1971, who in 1975 sold the store to Stowmarket Co-op.
This new post office has been opened recently at the corner of Baytree Hill and Windsor Place.
The post office that gave this picture its name was based in the building on the left, which was also a village shop. Today there is no village shop, nor a post office.
The old post office (left) was turned into a bed & breakfast in the late 1960s, and the petrol pump disappeared about that time also. The new post office opened next door.
On its eastern side is the George Inn, an old posting inn where post chaises and saddle horses could be hired in c1800.
The telephone box has gone, and the Post Office and shop, owned by R Boardman at this time, has closed, but the post box has become the letter box to the house.
A marvellous set piece, showing East Clandon Post Office. The man posing proudly for the camera outside the shop is Mr Smith himself. A lady is posting a letter, with her dog sitting obediently.
