Taken for comparison with Geoff Royle's photo of over 50 years ago, see Image The post office has now closed and is incorporated into a chocolate/ greeting card shop a few doors down West Gate. Three shop units have been created out of the building. On the corner is an estate agency, then a bakery and a clothing outlet which looks like it's changing again. On the far corner of Chaloner Street Maynards occupy the former premises of L Thirkell, which was also a newsagent.
