Bere Regis Post Office in 1875

Although this image is of poor quality, it is very interesting in that it shows a building which disappeared in 1902. The Post Office building was next to what is now Central Stores, in the space where the Cyril Wood Court buildings now are. Shown at the door are the post mistress Mrs Dowland and Miss Eliza Lane, her assistant. Note the two men with the handcart and evidence of horse traffic on the road.
