The Christchurch Road Shops - Tring
Image: © Chris Reynolds Taken: 9 Jun 2013
These two units were built circa 1960s to service the housing estates on the ridge to the north of the town of Tring. The first shop was originally a newsagent and a post office - and the cylinder post box is still there. The post office was closed down early in the 21st century and became little more than a distribution office for the newspaper round. It closed at the end of May 2013 and after a major refit opened as a Londis store a couple of days before this picture was taken. The shop next door has also changed over the years - and recently opened as a Ladies Hairdresser
