To the right of the picture is the base of the medieval market cross where John Wesley preached. The cross stands in front of the Old Court House of 1802. Originally the arched ground floors bays formed an open arcade but they were filled-in during the late c19. In addition to Small World Travel the building houses a Mechanics Library.

HSBC Bank, Epworth Market Place
The population of Epworth parish at the 2001 census was 3,734 so it is not surprising that this appears to be the only bank in the town.

Epworth Post Office - The Letter Box
I don't recall seeing an EIIR letter box of this type before. I understand this is a "Ludlow" box, named after the Birmingham manufacturer James Ludlow, made for use at sub-post offices between 1885 and 1965. Manufactured from sheet metal and wood with distinctive enamel plates they are apparently more prone to rot than cast iron boxes.
