Description
The Post Office at No. 15 Queen Street is a building that combines a house with a post office, dating from the 17th and early 18th centuries. It features coursed limestone rubble and has a steeply-pitched thatched roof on the original left-hand section, while the later right-hand section has a slate roof. There are brick ridge and end stacks. The building is two storeys high.
The left-hand part has small-paned iron-framed gudgeon-hung casement windows with wooden lintels, including a 3-light window on the ground floor and a 2-light stone-mullioned window with ovolo moulding, one light of which is blocked, and a cornice above. The right-hand part has a two-window range, with a 20th-century door to the left and a plate glass shop window. It also features 3-light casement windows with overlights, all having wooden lintels. The interior has not been inspected. This building was formerly known as the Royal Oak public house.
