Witchford Post Office re-opened on Monday 24th January. Shelley’s Shop, Main Street, Witchford, is now based inside a former Baptist Chapel that has been converted into a shop.
Shelley Davies, who had been the Postmaster for Witchford for 16 years, wanted to move to larger premises for her village shop, Post Office and a sandwich bar.
When the Chapel came up for sale the Postmaster contacted the Baptist Union. As a charity they had to manage the value of the premises and benefit for the community. Many residents supported the idea for a village shop and Post Office and contacted the charity to show their support and the bid was successful.
There are now new opening hours:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday: 8.30am – 1pm and 2 – 5.30pm;
Thursday: 8.30am – 1pm;
Saturday: 8.30am – 12.30pm.
This is earlier opening for the convenience of customers.
