SHOW ME YOUR POST OFFICE

I read that USPS will be shutting down smaller post offices soon. I fear my little town PO may be one of the ones to go, so I took a photo. I’d love to see your hometown post office, too.

This happened since the right wing gbovernment ( that is a lucky typo, bovine government suits them) we  have had for 12 years sold the Royal Mail. Infuriatingly, still called Royal Mail.

Yes! I have always thought of them as a kind of sacred space.

That is a shame, Mail Art Martha . :(

Not such luck, it is only a patisserie now. as many more small post offices it has gone with the wind of greed. The British PO is only interested in packets, more profit.

This was our nice  large local PO, at the corner of my road. 

We still got the postbox, they are disappearing also.

Now we have to go to a book shop to get postage, etc.

The Old Post Office Bakery on Landor Road has been a lynchpin of the community since 1982 when founder Karl Heinz Rossbach, while squatting in a former post office off Acre Lane, began using an old bathtub as a mixing bowl to produce artisan sourdough loaves.

Not local exactly but I get to it sometimes.

Last Friday, I went to the post office and the weather was cloudy again.
This time, I photographed from different points.

Inside the building, with a broad view of the service and...

In a far place, from the top of a bridge.

>Luís< So adorable! It’s a good idea to share the special stamps too.
