Sowerby Hall, Towngate
The 'hall' is not as grand as the name suggests. It would better be described as a 17th century yeoman's house, dating from 1646. It is however grade II listed (list entry 111134459). A screen of shrubs and trees largely obscures the front facing Towngate; this is a view from King Street.

Postbox with stamp machine, Towngate, Sowerby
The postbox is set into the wall outside a former post office. The stamp vending machine, though now disused, is evidence of a facility once found quite widely. There is a detailed article on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamp_vending_machines_in_the_United_Kingdom saying that the last machines were made in 1988 (this one is probably an earlier type) and were finally withdrawn, other than inside main post offices, in 2001.
