A huge fire in July 2009 caused severe damage to these buildings, including an historic pub and a newsagent's incorporating the town's post office (Image). It is expected that the renovations will take up to two years to complete. See also Image The Post Office branded sign gives details of the nearest alternative branches. However, a portable building has been installed in the minster car park in the last week, and it is hoped that the temporary post office will open there by the end of October.
