The hamlet of Forest Coal Pit can count itself fortunate still to have a post office. It is in this lean-to outbuilding of a cottage and operates more or less full-time hours. The actual name of the post office branch is "The Fforest" rather than Forest Coal Pit, although signposts in the area refer to both versions. The postbox, a standard Elizabeth II-reign one, is emptied finally at 2pm on weekdays and at 11:30am on Saturdays.
