Post Offices (GPO)
This post card is undated but thought to be circa WWI. Known today as Thistlewood cottage. It was also the village shop going back to the 1700's. It ceased to be a GPO office in around 1920/30.
The document below was published in 1855 and therefore relates to the old Post Office pictured left. However, it does not include any information about it.
It does have a description of a temporary All Saints Church 🔗.
This was the village GPO (General Post Office) after the old one ceased trading. Little is known of this post office other than that it was still used by villagers during the 1950's & 60's to cash postal orders and buy stamps in the post WWII period.
It is currently a private residence and still has evidence of where the post box was built-in.
It is situated opposite the church on Main Street and is known as 'The Last Post'.
Stamp franked "Horsington Lincoln"
dated 1931.
