Description

Theale Post Office, stores, and a section of forecourt wall is a building from the early 19th century. It features roughcast walls and a slate roof with coped verges and three brick ridge stacks, one of which is rendered. The building has an irregular frontage and is two storeys high, with a layout of three bays on the left and two bays on the right. The windows are primarily 2-light casements with glazing bars, except for a projecting shop window in the second bay of the ground floor, which has 18 lights and is covered by a tiled pentice. In the third bay of the ground floor, there is a window that has had its sole glazing bars removed to accommodate an oblong cast-iron post box with raised lettering that reads "G R". There are two door openings: on the left, there are paired half-glazed doors, and on the right, there is a 6-panelled door with the top two panels glazed. A painted signboard in the center of the frontage identifies the building as "Theale Post Office Stores". To the right, there is a short section of rubble forecourt wall with ramped coping on the right side.
