Viewed from the bus shelter. As I waited for the next bus, the look of this building gave the impression that it had a previous use. Firstly I thought that it might have been an inn but inspection of old maps showed that it had been the Ganllwyd post office and is marked as such on the 1889 25" map. A datestone on the gable carries the date 1866. A postbox still stands by the building, marking its previous use.
