E II R pillar box, with the earlier 'Post Office' lettering, indicating that it is probably not a replacement for a built-in postbox, as is the case at many post offices. In the background is the local police station.

Pete's Fish Bar
The real reason for taking this shot was to include the pre-Worboys style of sign for the Public Conveniences (still in existence, but currently closed) http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2559218.

Public Inconveniences
Like so many, these toilets are currently out of use.
Update: In 2012: the Parish council took-over responsibility for this building and the conveniences are now once again in use.

St Wilfrid's Square
The main shopping precinct in the village, developed when the village expanded as a colliery village. There is still a reasonable variety of shops, including a butcher, a baker and a small Sainsbury's branch, together with the usual clutch of takeaways.

St Wilfrid's Church
Although dating from the late 13th/14th century, the nave and tower were largely rebuilt in 1763; the chancel was rebuilt in 1835 and the church again restored in 1881. The porch is of this period too. Note the use of spreaders in the form of a cross for the strengthening ties across the church. Listed Grade II*.

Church of St Wilfrid, Calverton
Although 13th century in origin, the external aspect is largely the result of major rebuilding, including the tower, in 1760-3. The Gothic windows were formed during the restoration of 1881, replacing round headed windows in style matching those of the tower. Listed Grade II*.
