Sidinish: postbox № HS6 20 and the old post office This postbox stands outside the old post office, which was in the building to the right. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/854445">NF8763 : Sidinish Post Office</a> for a picture of the post office when it was operational.

The post office had opened in the early part of 1930 but fell victim to the Network Change programme - in which 2,500 branches nationwide were axed - and its last day of business was 21 July 2008.
