The Old Pool Post Office
For many years, this building housed Pool Post Office, until it was closed in 1995. A plaque next to the still existent Georgian post box reads "The Maddern family has kept the Post Office for over 100 years ending in 1995".
The road on which the post office stands was once the main A30 before a dual carriageway bypass was built.

Old Guidestone by Fore Street (East face)
The Guide Stone is located on the South of the road. Parish of Carn Brea (Kerrier District). Carved stone post, erected in the 19th Century. Some believe this is a boundary marker between Basset / TB Vyvyan land, but there are clearly arrows and this face does not just have B. The word POOL is not clear and there looks to be CAMBORNE at the bottom. This possibly refers to the western extent of Basset land.
