The Post  Office, Church Street, North Creake On the same building is a faded Forge Smithy sign and also a nice Lyons Tea sign. It is all slightly confusing as there does not appear to be a post box, but there is one built into the wall of number 24,  somewhat further down the road - see my other submissions. Unfortunately, the post office was closed, so could not ask!
