Post Office, Saddleworth Road, Greetland
The postbox does not carry a royal cypher. To the right of it are two disused stamp vending machines. For many years these were in use outside most post offices, selling booklets for gradually increasing sums (I started at 1/-, and they went out of use at £1). There are still some modern machines that sell any number of 2nd or 1st class stamps from coils, and will give change.

Datestone on former building society premises, Stainland Road, Greetland
The architectural style seems old-fashioned for 1922, but perhaps the directors of the Halifax Permanent Building Society had conservative taste. The stone mason has provided a touch of humour - if you look closely at the leafy motif near the bottom of the image it contains two grotesque faces with ambiguous expressions.
