Pontrilas Post Office
Located near the eastern edge of the village, at the entrance to Pontrilas Business Park, near the A465 junction. Although the name Pontrilas is of Welsh origin (there are many such place names in western Herefordshire), the village is about a mile on the English side of the border. Compare the simple 'Post Office' here with the bilingual sign at Mardy post office http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2580861 about 10 miles away, in Wales.
The former Pontrilas post office http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2593060 is about 70 metres to the west.

Signal box on a bridge, Pontrilas
The bridge carries the Welsh Marches railway line over a minor road in the village of Pontrilas, Herefordshire. Unusually, there is a signal box on the bridge. The box was built in 1880. Though Pontrilas station closed in 1964, the signal box is still in use, to control the points and semaphore signals in the area.

Eastern edge of Pontrilas Business Park
Viewed from the corner of the A465. A Herefordshire Council Property Services notice on the fence on the right states that light industrial units are available.
There is a good supply of rock salt in the Roads Department premises on the left. After three snowier than average winters in a row, staff who grit the roads are probably hoping for a less snowy winter in 2011-2012 !
