Townsend: shop and post office

The shop, incorporating post office, at Townsend is right in the centre of this community, alongside SZ1294 : Townsend: primary school and community centre. Townsend has long had a rough reputation, with bus company bosses withdrawing services through the estate in the evenings, and a letter bomb being posted in the postbox threatening postal services. However, reputations lasts longer than they deserve and Townsend has a thriving community centre and has had postal and bus services restored. The new postbox is a double-aperture one, which looks quite out of place here (see SZ1294 : Townsend: postbox № BH8 178, Jewell Road).
