![]() This Grade II Listed building is a
former post office designed by C.P. Wilkinson was
opened in 1927. It is clad in Portland stone and
features a Westmoreland slate roof. English
heritage describe it as, "... Two storeys plus
attic with a nine bay facade, the central seven
being brought forward. The ground floor is
rusticated, has a projecting plinth, semi-circular
headed openings with coved surrounds and large 'S'
shaped scroll keystones. The first floor sash
windows have architraves, and sills and cornices
supported by console brackets. Rusticated quoins
and a modillion eaves cornice with egg and tongue
moulding and carved lion heads. Steeply pitched
roof with pedimented dormer windows. The side
elevations are treated similarly but in a more
restrained manner. Many of the internal fittings
and finishes remain intact."
In 2018, when I
took these images, the building was home to "The
Medicine Tap" a bar and grill.
