Description
SX 8060 SW TOTNES
FORE STREET (north side) 928-/2/10004 The Post Office
GV II
Post office. c1920s. Built of brick with slate-hung main elevations; gabled slate roofs with rendered end stack. 2 storeys. One-window front with central gable set above 2-storey bay window with 6/6-pane and outer 4/4-pane sashes, and slate projection over tripartite shop front with pilasters framing central doorway with fanlight and multi-pane shop windows with glazing bars. Similar detail and irregular fenestration continued to right-hand return, including lower 2-storey projection with half-hipped roof. Bracketted canopy over entrance to plainer one-storey rear sorting office. Interior not inspected. A good example of a Vernacular Revival composition in traditional materials, clearly designed to harmonise with the buildings in a very fine historic street.
