I cannot find this view on Google Maps, perhaps some of these older looking buildings have gone now. This postcard view is how things looked in the 1960s.
There is a Post Office (P.O.) marked on the Ordnance Survey First Edition, but I can’t confirm if this is the same position.

Missing post-offices – Hunworth
My Great aunt was Bertha Blogg. When visiting as a child she would describe to me how the post office was in the left hand front room of her cottage (two made into one then). As you looked down at it from the road, you could see two front doors. They are still there. Aunt Bertha was born in 1902. Her mother bought the house as a tumble down shell and had it rebuilt. My grandmother delivered mail on a bike from there in the 1920 as a young woman. When Aunt Bertha died in the 1990s, her cottage had no hot water or heating, it was very damp and Victorian. It is now part of a different type of Norfolk to that which she knew. Her name is on the cottage on Kings Street, Hunworth. The left hand front room was the post office. It was two one-up one downs put together, with 8 children and a business in it. I will always remember that the holiday cottages of today were slums 50 years ago.
