Parkstone: Penn Hill Avenue Post Office
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 27 Oct 2008
This post office, within Balfour News, is one of the 2,500 casualties of the 2008 round of closures, its last day of service being Wednesday 29 October. It will have served the locality for 82 years when it shuts for the last time. There is a slight optical illusion looking from this angle, as the canopy of the neighbour is superimposed precisely on the signboard of the newsagent.
