The postcard says this is the post office, I assume it is the long building. This is opposite the church. For the present day post office reverse up the road a little.

    Myself and my husband live in this house and are trying to find out when it was originally built. I don’t know if anyone can help?

      Hi Carole, I can’t help much but the sub-postmaster there is recorded in 1900 as one James Horn and again in the 1911 census. I’d imagine it is still older though. I wish you luck. You could try looking online for old OS maps, they often mark buildings, that may get you back further…

      This site helped me locate places when I wrote my book : http://historic-maps.norfolk.gov.uk/mapexplorer/
