Located next door to Tasty Oriental takeaway, this small post office in Glebe Street is the main post office for Penarth. A few days before this view was taken in early December 2012, a local paper reported that the post office was struggling to cope with pre-Christmas demand, with long queues for service sparking complaints from angry customers who are having to wait half an hour or more to get to the counter. Penarth Post Office was originally set up in purpose-built pre-war premises in Albert Road next to the sorting office. The Post Office was then moved to Kitchener and Thomas's electrical store in Windsor Road and then relocated again to a small vacant shop here in Glebe Street.
