The Old post Office Haworth.

The restored shop front is almost complete; we just need to add the corbels and the horizontal sign panel to the top

Over a year of careful planning has gone into the design and details of the front of the Old Post Office. We were keen to bring it back to an early Victorian style, complete with smaller window panes and narrow glazing bars. Many thanks to our talented local joiner, Richard, for his meticulous work in making and fitting all the windows and the panelled stall riser.
The Heritage Officer was keen to retain the existing front door and, although it is later in style (probably Edwardian), it sits well in the newly painted shop front.
The removal of incongruous concrete steps under the shop window was a massive task, but well worth it; we have now revealed the original cellar window and reinstated the railings around the drop.
The front of the building will also feature a hanging sign on a Victorian-style ornate bracket, and a heritage Sugg lantern.
N.B. The larger top step has a little groove in it to carry rain water away from the centre of it! It would form a puddle and freeze in winter without it.
