St. Ives: The Wharf Post Office

This is not the main post office in St. Ives; the main one is southwest of the harbour. This is a sub-post office, named The Wharf, in the short road called Chy-an-Chy which is really just the last tiny segment of the main Fore Street. The Wharf Post Office was initially established in 1905 but closed in the spring of 1916 before being reopened in 1937.
