Post Office

The Post Office, built in 1887, is designed in the French, Mediaeval Domestic Style. It features red brick with limestone dressings and a slate roof. The main entrance facade faces east and has a west wing with four bays. The building is two storeys tall with an attic. It has parapet gables with end stacks, each topped with linked circular limestone shafts. The facade includes three tall gabled attic windows, flanked by slender buttresses and finials. There is a stone-coped parapet and cornice, a cill band at the first floor, and a stone plinth. The first floor has four windows, while the ground floor has three, with central pairs linked. These windows have flat arched, roll-moulded stone architraves that are rounded at the corners. The entrance on the left side features a half-glazed door set in a stone, crocketed arched doorway, which is linked at the impost to the windows by a stone band. The two-storey wing has two large fanned ground floor windows with stone key blocks and four first floor hung sash windows with glazing bars, along with a parapet.
