Post Office, Westgate, over 50 years ago
This was a red-letter day for the town. A new Post Office building was being officially opened.
The photographer was touring and simply stopped there to buy a stamp and post a letter.
It looks as though the ceremony was going on behind the large windows.
On the other corner of Chaloner Street there are signs that Thirkell's shop has had a new front. http://www.francisfrith.com/guisborough/photos/westgate-c1955_G66024/
For comparison, moderator, Mick Garratt has kindly photographed the same scene 52 years later, on 22 April, 2009. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1278502.
Quite a transformation, the original post war architecture just had to go !

Former Post Office
Taken for comparison with Geoff Royle's photo of over 50 years ago, see Image The post office has now closed and is incorporated into a chocolate/ greeting card shop a few doors down West Gate.
Three shop units have been created out of the building. On the corner is an estate agency, then a bakery and a clothing outlet which looks like it's changing again. On the far corner of Chaloner Street Maynards occupy the former premises of L Thirkell, which was also a newsagent.

Sunnyfield House
An eighteenth century Grade II listed house built for John Harrison, an attorney and agent to the Chaloner estate of Lord Gisborough. From the mid fifties to the early seventies it was used as a training centre for the Jackson Burton Group who then had a substantial factory on the west end of town. In 1972 the Guisborough Urban District Council took the house over, followed by various evolutions of the local authority. Since 1981 Guisborough Town Council bought the House using it as a Community Centre.
