More about this scene
The Frith photographer's desire to take views of post offices has led him to ignore the beautifully-situated village centre around its green and also the good 1879 church, designed, built and paid for by the architect George Edmund Street and surrounded by a backdrop of woods. Instead, he took his camera down Pitland Street to the south. This pair of 19th-century cottages with their bracket door hoods survive: the one on the right was the post office with a shop in the garden, which has now been demolished. The cottage is now named The Old Post Office.
