Bridgend: the post office A post office was originally established hereabouts in c.1775, when it was called Bowmore. It was renamed Bridgend on 6 October 1859, by which time what we now know as Bowmore, a village a couple of miles south, had got a post office of its own. The Bowmore Village office had opened on 19 January 1847 and was renamed plain Bowmore on the same date in 1859.

The present-day office is within a busy and well-stocked Spar convenience store which also has petrol pumps on the forecourt.
