But the post box has crossed the road to be near the new Post Office on the left, and the pillared building on the extreme left is now a Pizza Express.
Now a truly lovely private home, this would have been an extremely grand post office for such a remote village.
It looks as if the Austin A30 has hit the post box!
This post mill is thought to date from the 17th century, and is perhaps the oldest working post mill in the country.
A very rural Post Office - part cottage, part shop.
The post office and shop survived until about 1995, when the premises were taken over by Weddinghouse, a business selling and hiring wedding dresses and costumes.
The Post Office (right) was situated here for a few years after a fire in 1952 at the present Post Office, which was caused by petrol hoarding during the Suez Crisis.
This fine post mill of 1835 still tops Argos Hill.
The post office cum garage is now a house named, unsurprisingly, The Old Post Office.

The lady with the pram, near the clipped bushes (left), is outside the Post Office and Stores, which closed in 1975, although the post box remains.

At first, postcards had to be placed inside an envelope before they could be posted, but in 1894 the rule was relaxed and they were allowed to be posted at half the normal letter rate.
The post office and general store were essential parts of village life, so not surprisingly they feature on many of Frith's postcards; these were later sold at the post office counter and the village store
In our photograph, the village stores and post office were sheltered from the roadway behind trimmed hedges.
The row of cottages on the left is known as Station Terrace, with the post office close to the camera with a post box and stamp machine set into the wall.
The 1922 post office has taken the place of Castle House which went in 1913 and if you look you will see that the post office building line exactly corresponds to the line of Castle House boundary
