Building towards the northern end of St Peter's Street, on the site of the former Townsend Farm. Its name was taken from a previous building further along the street which had been demolished for the new Post Office built in 1935 - see Image Maps back to the 1898 1:2,500 edition show a similar shaped building (other than later extensions) in the site named Townsend, suggesting that the naming as Thorne House was simply a renaming, with the building itself being late Victorian.
