West Dereham, The Chequers & Post Office c.1955

More about this scene
The inn and the post office (and general stores) were at the heart of most villages until very recent times. There was a weekly market here, granted to the abbey by King John in 1199: it had fallen out of use by the 16th century. The isolation of this area of Norfolk is shown by the fact that the local railway station was closed to passenger traffic as early as 1930.
