More about this scene
The massed ranks of the staff pose outside the post office, which opened in West Street after occupying several addresses in the High Street and Petworth Road. The postmaster Mr Charman (standing to the right of the ladies) also ran a newsagent's and gift shop in the High Street. Although this substantial number of employees might appear surprising, it is worth remembering that at this time they would be providing three deliveries and seven collections on weekdays to residents, while the telegraph boys on the left would also be on hand to deliver urgent telegrams.
