When I was nursing in Blackpool many many moons ago this post office was a busy & thriving place.
As you can see it has for Sale signs …….supposed to be made into a large hotel but nothing happening yet.
A similar one in Preston town centre too but both of them closed & sadly post office counters have moved into obscure back street premises.
Of course there are many a small newsagents now in villages & small towns doing a stirling job …..our village newsagent example.
The Blackpool one you see here is fronted with Portland stone & the eight red telephone boxes are Grade 2 listed.
I have been to Blackpool on the bus taking back something to M&S. I must say the clothes in that shop are so good this winter.
Love the row of phone boxes. I bet they've been well used in their day, outside a hospital. People phoning home, updating relatives, etc. This building would make fabulous flats. I hope it's put to good use.
Just for show I think. I doubt they are connected up these days!
