Valerie Sibley tells us the location and shares some childhood memories.

I expect you've had lots of replies as to the location of the Post Office - I lived in Horsford Cottages from 1939 until 1948 and passed it every day on my way to and from the village school.

Coming from the Village School, turn right off the main road by the Railway Tavern and it was/is on the first corner on the left. There used to be a wooden building half way between the Tavern and the Post Office which served as a Bank, especially on Market Days in the Station Yard.

The wooden building would have been on the same side as the Tavern and the Post Office, possibly just before you get to what is now called the Sidings.

Last time we visited I continued round Horsford Road and managed to locate our old home - the triangle of ground now surrounded by greenery, is quite unmistakeable, although the buildings have changed. They stand out as pinkish cottages and there appears to be a new building nearer the road. All that triangle was our garden during the war, where my father grew lots of vegetables and just a few flowers for Mum (you can't eat flowers; he always said).

As far as I know I was not too naughty - only crime was "scrumping" in an orchard - rush through, grab what you could, over the dry-stone wall and share it out (usually me and 3 or 4 village boys!).
