Barrow Gurney's post office used to be here in the terrace of cottages known as Compton Mead. The cottages are believed to date from the late seventeenth century, with many subsequent works thereafter. However, after many years of service, the office was closed a few years ago. The phone box is bereft of anything useful, like a phone.
