Architecture, sixties style
This looks so wrong beside the Georgian beauties in Nevill Street - a blocky-style Post Office built in the 1960s. The harsh lines are softened by trees and the area in front has been put to good use with the addition of a food kiosk and a few stall holders selling craft items.

Abergavenny Post Office
There are just weeks to go before the market town of Abergavenny loses its Post Office. Like so many other towns across the UK the dedicated Post Office is to close and be subsumed within a stationery shop in Cibi Walk. The end of an era.

Sign for the Hen & Chicken
In the 17th century this expression was used to describe the Pleiades, the group of stars in the constellation Taurus. In the 18th century it was used to name a compound daisy, such as London Pride. By the late 19th century the expression was applied to a children's game. In slang, 'chickens' were small pewter pots mixed with larger pots (known as 'hens') and this looks a tempting source for the pubs name. Before the 17th century however, a hen and chickens were symbolic in Christian art of God's providence, and that is probably the original reason for their use on street signs of various kinds, including taverns.
