At dusk, from this angle, the whitewashed remains of the words "Gresham" and "Office" can just be discerned on the white panel above the door, catching the light of the lamppost opposite. The building is at 44 Charminster Avenue, on the corner of Gresham Road which gave the post office its name, and it is now an estate agent. The post office replaced an earlier branch named Strouden Road in 1926, and closed down on 6 March 2004.
