In the 1935 Kelley’s Directory for Rotherham and Sheffield, there is a gap here between no.s 162 and 174 Western Road. It’s quite possible that the Post Office and adjoining houses were built later on. I’ve always known the corner building to be a General Store and Post Office, since my schooldays.
