Mon 9th. June Our Post Office closed
We have lost our POST OFFICE after 168 years it closed on Monday 9th of June 2008
at 1pm.
We had a post house at The Swan Hotel before that! There is a postcard with a twopenny blue stamp on it and a Wangford Postmark, so we had a sorting office here in 1840. Before that The Earls of Stradbroke had their Mail sent up from London by mail coach to The Swan and would send a servant into Wangford to pick it up. Only the railway stopped us from having a general Post & sorting office, it was built but the line from Ipswich was continued on from Halesworth to Beccles and the sorting office went there. Our new General Post Office became just a shop. We still sorted local mail in Wangford until 1972 when we lost our local Postmen.
With the loss of income from the Post Office the shop could have problems
So it is a case of
USE IT OR LOSE IT
Postal Assistant Gillian who's grandfather was one of our last local Postmen and Karen our last Post Mistress.
I am certain that everyone in Wangford wishes to thank them both for the wonderful service they have given us.
From now on the Post Office will be at
the community centre at Wangford
for a hosted Post Office service on
Tuesdays from 8am. to noon
Thursdays from1pm. to 5pm.
and from 8am. to noon on Fridays.
There will be no post office sevice from Thursday 31st. July until 12th. August and also no sevice on the 15th. August.
Sadly not the kind of service we are use to so please take note.
