PHOTO POSTCARD VIEW OF HUNTSHAM POST OFFICE (POSTCARD REF. No 17582)
One of a set of postcards once sold individually at the village post office and probably other places.
The postcards are not dated, but are known to have existed in 1929 (see HA21,22), and printed on the reverse: ‘POST CARD Real Photo by CHAPMAN & SON, Publishers, Dawlish’. The numbers on some examples are reference numbers and not dates. This example has a white border.
The building was originally the village blacksmith’s shop, and it is recorded in the Estate Rents of 1876 (HA18), that a Robert Burton rented ‘New Smiths Shop and house’ for £5 per half year. This infers that there was an earlier blacksmith’s shop, and the Tithe map of 1841 (HA12,13,14,15) shows within, approximately, the same location as present, ‘Smiths Shop’. It is assumed that the house referred to, is the present Widgery Cottage. A view exists of the blacksmith’s shop, now the rear of the post office (HA48). Although still named Huntsham Post Office, the post office closed on the decision of the tenant and, then postmaster, Mr. Ken Hall in 2002.
Details found during close examination of HA7 show:
Smaller size post-box would have been opened from inside the post office for initial sorting and local delivery. Present box is larger and is opened from outside the post office by visiting postmen.
The sign above window at left of post office door reads ‘TELEGRAPH OFFICE’ with an arrow pointing to the right, confirmed by Ciss Carpenter to have been white lettering on a dark blue background, enamelled pressed steel, commonly seen at railway stations, etc. before telephones became widespread, and possibly adapted to suit the situation. This must have been a later addition to signs, on the installation of a telephone line to the post office.
Notices over door:
Top: Mostly illegible, but ‘PARCELS POST’ can be seen, it possibly advertises services available from the post office, originally not telegraphs, hence the need for the additional Telegraph Office sign
Centre: ‘HUNTSHAM POST OFFICE’
Bottom (above door): licensing requirement for sale of tobacco.
No telephone call box
Tyre tracks in dusty road surface
Open window above post office door

A major revision of an earlier Post Apoc MOC. The Affected* driver found some scrap metal and car parts and souped it up, I guess.
*flesh or tan guys, also known as 'Alf Muties". The name "Affected" comes from the fact that they've been affected by radiation.
I recently jacked my finger up on a band saw at work and this is after I had surgery to repair the ligaments and nerves in my left index finger.
The blade of the saw went into the joint of my first knuckle, i'm lucky I didn't cut off the whole thing.
If you can't manage to grab a sausage maybe a rat will do?
Anyway, like with all cooking, it's all in the presentation.
I suspect that this small country store was formerly the Hendley post office, yet I am not sure.
Hendley is a small community located in southern Furnas County west of Beaver City. Its post office was discontinued in 1986.

The beginning of an experiment into 8x8 pixel art. [before varnish]
I'm keen to see if i can use post-its and varnish/wheat-paste to produce urban/street pixel art, in the vein of the Space-Invaders (london).

Orchesis Dance Company's spring production, "heads will roll" poster design.
The theme is based on the song "heads will roll" by the yeah yeah yeahs and the song is a story about the battle between the queen of hearts and queen of spades (hence the crown, and heart & spade shapes).
The whole design is designed to look like the back of a playing card.
Please support buy buying a ticket and attend the show. It's bound to be filled with lots of great performance by the Orchesis Dance Company!

Since the 19th century, whalers kept a wooden barrel at Post Office Bay, so that mail could be picked up and delivered to their destination by ships on their way home, mainly to Europe and the United States. Cards and letters are still placed in the barrel without any postage. Visitors sift through the letters and cards in order to deliver them by hand.
