The William Webb Ellis public house on London Road was once a post office. This is a fine example from 1908. built to the designs of architect John Rutherford. The royal cipher set within a decorative cartouche is a reminder of the building's former function as a Crown post office. Of course many of the post offices built during the Edwardian era have been closed and converted to other uses, often public houses controlled by J.D. Wetherspoon.
