On 12 August 1997, the Post Office celebrated the centenary of the formation of the National Association of Sub-Postmasters with a series of four stamps of notable post offices in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The post office representing England was Painswick. It then occupied the oldest building of any post office in the country, and probably still does so. The building was originally built as a house in 1478.
Photographs of the Post Office can be seen in the photo section. The Post Office as it is now and as it was fifty or sixty years ago can be seen in the photographs called Post Office, New Street. Another view showing how it appeared before the current building was occupied by the Post Office in 1933 can be seen on the right hand side of the photographs of New Street, facing south.
Articles on the Post Office (or the stamp) appeared in issue 1 of The Chronicle, issue 2 of The Chronicle, and issue 4 of The Chronicle.
