Former Village Shop and Post Office

Image: © Mat Tuck Taken: 9 Aug 2013

The white painted front extension with the green door was once the village shop. The entrance led in to a small greengrocer area, before turning left in to the main store. As I recall as you entered, to the left was stationery, under the window was a chest freezer, in front of you was the main counter with confectionery. To the left were shelves of ambient groceries, and on the right hand side of the counter was the Post Office booth. The stores were run by Mr & Mrs. Duck. This was the centre of the village, with the pub to the left of this property and the Coach, Garage & Fuel station to the right.
