The houses on the left are typical of the Wealden style, and H Kemp's Stores and Post Office still exist.
The post office next door has closed.
A Victorian post box sits in the wall on the right, out of view. The cottages, little changed, carry the names of former occupants: Crockford, Chidgey, Pope, Syms and Miss Bryant.
The post office was opposite.
This scene is little changed: the Volunteer Inn, minus whitewash, survives along with the phone box; behind it is the Old Post Office.
Next to it - immediately behind one of the white posts - are the village stocks.
Village Street leads away downhill to the old post office.
A post-type windmill has been moved from Lowfield Heath and reconstructed in full working order, and is open to visitors. The village is now very close to the ever-expanding Gatwick Airport.
Behind the old post office, now an extended house, is the railway line, with the nearest station at Kiplingcotes.
To the right is the old school house, now today's post office. Far right is the base of the market cross.
On the right is the Cliffe post office, with a pillar box outside. The Black Bull pub (centre) was another property of the Maidstone brewers Style & Winch.
The wooden posts are positioned to assist coaches at times when these waters are in flood, although the abandoned cartwheel suggests that not all vehicles made the crossing successfully.
It was for many years an important staging post on the Hastings to Brighton turnpike road.
Interesting that the Post Office is spelled without the hyphens, but spellings, as we have noted, are a peculiar Welsh idiosyncrasy and every town, village and street can have a slightly or totally dissimilar
The post office (on the left of the picture), under the management of F G Fitchett, is apparently the fulcrum of village life.
Here we see the post-1953 sea wall, stepped here to allow access to the beach.
Despite its relative isolation from the main mining areas, St Mawes is thought to have been an early tin trading post.
On the right is the Crafthole Methodist Chapel, built in 1867, while the house jutting out into the road on the left is now the shop and Post Office.
A post office, a shop and a hairdresser's still serve a larger and more varied community.
The post office completes the scene.
Amongst the display boards outside the post office, in the Forty, is one advertising two home fixtures of Reading Football Club: one match against Arsenal and the other against Brentford.
On the left is the town's Post Office, converted from a private house.
The large building at centre left is the post office, and just in front of that and to the right of James Wilde & Son is the single-storey Pack Horse Hotel.
The Post Office had occupied these purpose-built premises for only one year when this photograph was taken, having previously occupied G E Page's milliners and draper's business three doors along.
