The Post Office is due to become a "Family Shopper" according to the signage. Next door is a beauty shop called the Eyebrow Gallery. Next to that is St Oswald's Hospice charity shop. Streetview imagery shows that in 2008 what is now the post office was then a greengrocers, John Day. Meanwhile next door was Chirton Fisheries. By 2012 the fishmongers had become "AccessoriseMe". In 2016 that latter had a closing down sale on whilst the greengrocers was "To Let". The Eyebrow Gallery opened in 2017 but the Post Office didn't appear until 2020.
