The former post office, Park Street, Brighouse
A Victorian neo-Classical building, without any Georgian elegance. This was the main post office when photographed, but was closed several months later.

Detail of the Post Office, Park Street, Brighouse
'Letter Box' is carved in stone, and the emblem of mercury is in the pediment above. The VR monogram is in the centre of the carved banner, between 'Post' and 'Office'. The post office has since been moved to a shop unit off Market Street.

The new post office, Wellington Arcade, Brighouse
The Victorian post office in Park Street was suddenly closed without notice, and a few weeks later this new post office opened in what had been a vacant shop unit. The reference to first-floor premises is puzzling, as there does not appear to be a first floor.

28 to 32 Commercial Street, Brighouse
28 and 30 (Oxfam) are part of the site of twelve small houses, along with the Bradford and Bingley Bank. The site was vacant in 1850 but built-up by c.1870. The same applies to Fulton's and the two shops to the left (shown on another photo).

44 and 46 Commercial Street, Brighouse
On the 1907 1:2500 map these two buildings and Fulton's to the right look to be four similar with a central archway. The archway was probably where the smaller of the two D&A windows is, and the D&A building has had architectural treatment, with a skin of ashlar stone, columns and a large semi-circular window. However the building to the left is much lower than the pair on the right (shown in the photo of 28-32 Commercial Street). To the left of The Flower Garden there is a narrow passage through to Ganny Road. This was possibly a footpath that existed before the land was developed.

56 to 60 Commercial Street, Brighouse
These three premises were certainly built as a block, each having an identical pattern of windows, with decoration over the first-floor ones. They are not on the map of c. 1870, but are on the 1907 map.

64 and 66 Commercial Street, Brighouse
These are two of the oldest of the buildings in the street, being shown on the 1850 OS map. The archway leads into the yard at the back, which used to be hemmed in by small houses on Lower Oxford Street, long gone.

68 and 70, Commercial Street, Brighouse
More old buildings, probably the ones on the 1850 OS map, but disguised by painted walls and new windows, and of course the shop fronts. These may have been built as houses.
