Closed Post Office

The post office at the corner of Broad Lane and Glendower Avenue has recently closed down and stands shuttered with its signage painted out. When first built, in the 1920s, both this and the adjoining house had ground floor shops, with the last occupant of the right hand shop before its conversion back to residential use being a small grocer's store. To the right is a bus stop with no route to serve, presumably retained in case a bus operator decides to re-introduce a service. Since this photo was taken, the postbox has been re-sited in Hendre Close on the other side of Broad Lane (see Image] ).
