The Old Post Office

The Old Post Office is a house that was formerly a post office and the postmaster's residence, with a village hall on the upper storey. It was originally part of the Crag Works, which were built as a water-powered carpet works in the early 19th century, and it is the only surviving section of this complex. The building features coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and a Kerridge stone-slate roof, characterized by coped gables and small gable chimneys.

It stands three storeys high and has seven windows, with a central three-storey porch that is topped with an open Doric pediment. The arched doorway has double doors with raised ellipse-on-cross upper panels and is surmounted by a radial-bar fan. The upper storeys above the doorway have segmental pedimented recessed fixed-light wooden windows with 25 panes. Other windows on the front and rear are made of cast iron, with 35 panes on the lower storey at the front and 30 panes with inset casements elsewhere.

To the right, there is a steep bank with external stone steps and a causeway that provides access to the upper storey, although the former loading door has been blocked. Inside, the building features four-panel doors, cased iron I-beams, and stone stairs within a walled well, with the steps later encased in softwood. The Crag Works was built alongside Crag Hall before 1819, as noted in historical maps from that period.
