This first snap was taken, I believe in the late 40's or
early 50.s. I judge this by the soft drink Corona advertised
on the left hand wall of the Post Office (it was very popular when I was
a youngster) plus the left hand wing of the car to the right of
the elderly gent with his hands in his pockets. A further
clue is the advertising of "Birds Eye" in the 30's???
Sadly, the village Post Office finally closed in 2004 but
all was not lost, the Sharp's came to the rescue. A new Post Office
was build in the grounds of Riverside Motors with Simon Sharp becoming
the new Post Master. See new pictures below.
