This closed as a post office in about 2006 at a time when the local PO was becoming more and more unviable as a business. Now it is student house letting agency but before this I think it was a fitted window shop or something similar. I remember asking the last postmaster if he was sad about closing and surprisingly he said no. They'd had a violent robbery here not long before and I think they had just had enough.
