More about this scene

A very rural Post Office - part cottage, part shop. Note the Victorian post box and the arrow for the Telegraph Office. Telegrams were still a popular form of communication, but they were on their way out: for many people, they had always had a macabre association - having been bringers, frequently, of bad news during the War years.
