This small historic black-tarred weatherboarded post mill with an open trestle is powered by two common and two spring sails, and is turned to the wind manually by a tail pole.
These buildings were demolished as part of road and pedestrian way development, and a post office and job centre were built in their place.
London Bridge’s lamp-posts were cast from the metal of French cannons captured in the Peninsula War.
The area then had five shops including a post office. There were two schools in Rainow, one Church of England, the other Methodist.
Most rationing had ended by now, but you still needed sweet coupons to spend your sixpence or shilling pocket money at this thatched Post Office and general stores.
The parade of shops still exists and the corner shop is still open, but the Post Office sign has disappeared.
The 'Family Shop' - the post office and stores on the left - is now a watch repairer's. The baker's next door still has its Hovis sign, but it is a computer business now.
This attractive thatched building still houses the village post office, except that it has moved to the right, where we can see a pram and a dog.
The Red Lion Hotel beyond it has gone, now replaced by Red Lion Court, and Mrs Odell now runs the new post office (to the left of the chapel) - the old one closed in 2000.
The black-painted post mill with four patent sails is turned to the wind manually by a tailpole. Located near to a golf course, it was built in about 1765 and ceased work in about 1870.
The post office was opened in 1963.
The railed enclosure with the lamp post has gone, but the 1885 drinking fountain and canopy, to the right of the 'growler' cab, remain, or rather were reinstated in 1979.
The grey wooden turret with three bells is supported in the nave by four posts.
It is a busy day in post-war Dorchester, which looks almost as though everyone in Dorset has come for their shopping.
Dutton post office, on the left, has gone, and been replaced by a new housing estate.
The post office/stores is now a computer business, with a new stores opposite.
D & E Flack's (left) was a general store and post office serving the area north of the Southend road. By the end of the 1950s, outlying shops were competing with the new Town Centre development.
In medieval times, guards were posted to keep watch and to guide people from the nearby Forest of Galtres so as to protect them from the packs of wolves that roamed the area.
The post office is on the left with its sign outside.
Built in the early 18th century, this post mill stopped grinding corn in 1897, and deteriorated badly after this photograph was taken.
The earlier Corn Exchange on Cornhill was demolished in 1880 for the new post office. The replacement was built in 1882 in a mixture of Italianate styles, with French pavilions on the roof.
David Collins was the owner of the Post Office Stores and chemist's shop(centre right). The awning beyond is Chilliston's General Store.
On the left was the shop that included the post office. Inside, you could buy almost anything: there was paraffin, bacon, and butter in a glass cabinet, and sweets in glass jars.
There are shops, a post office, a village hall and a sports pavilion.
