The Old Post Office
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 31 Aug 2012
Despite the depiction of a Victorian penny black stamp, the building is Edwardian, dating from 1907 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3116401. Now a public house. The current Post Office http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3123333 is much less imposing. (A classic example of 'which square does this belong to?' The gridline passes through the facade, most of which is in the next square, then exits the picture near the bottom right hand corner. Conversely, the linked detail shot crosses the gridline in the opposite direction)
