The Old Post Office (Number 3)

Category:

This is another former site of the Timsbury Post Office. Before it was a Post Office, George Dando had a boot and shoe shop here. He had a contract with the Russian army to make size 16/17/18 boots.

This Post Office was a specially built extension when the Post Office moved from the Square. Ida May Cox was the first Post Mistress then having taken over the Post Office in The Square when her husband died during WW1.

Mrs Jeffs took over from Ida May Cox, she used to be a Post Mistress in Bath. When she died in 1954 her son Martyn Jeffs took over as Post Master.

The back part of the Post Office was the sorting area and also housed the Timsbury telephone exchange.
