Many of these photographs were taken in the late 1960s and they are an interesting snapshot of our towns from fifty years ago as some of these buildings are no longer there, some are still in existence but are no longer Post Offices and a few are still being used as Post Offices. The photographs of the General Stores are especially interesting.
