Heol Llanishen Fach Post Office

A Post Office/​general stores this shop has a selection of grocery products as well as providing usual Post Office counter services including faxes and photocopying. They had a wide selection of greeting cards covering every occasion. There were a number of speciality ranges including one devoted to fluffy sheep complete with wool! There were a selection of newspaper and magazines including a small selection of books and toys. The shop also had a selection of loose sweets which are very popular with children on their way home from the neighbouring school.

Although this is a small example of the local post office, it’s particularly friendly and quaint. This is a classic little post office that sell precisely everything that you want it to. By no means as busy as the post office in the centre of town, this is a great one to pop into if you want to avoid the queues and spend your afternoon doing something productive instead.
There is something British and charming about any post office, I think. In this age we live in swiftly moving towards a paperless society, then maybe one day these premises will, all around the country, become obsolete. Perhaps they’ll just be empty brick shells that sell stamps to collectors and pencil sharpeners (although only artists would buy them). Balls of fluff will gather in the corners.
But no! We cannot let this happen, we must support our local establishments. Without the postal system, how would housewives have affairs? How would charities give you free pens? We would all have boarded up little slots in our front doors. Support! Support!
