Bayleaf Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Nether Green Post Office, Oakbrook Rd. Closed 2(?) years ago, local protesters told it wasn't a problem as there was a regular bus service to Fulwood Post Office. A few months after it closed they withdrew the bus service! P.O. now re-opened as a part-time branch of Broomhill P.O. in a deli opposite, subsidised by the Council for a couple of years, no promise of what happens after.

SteveHB Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was surprised it was there in 82, i thought it went before that. I remember using the Heeley Bridge P.O. but not sure when it closed, this could help thewookie.co.uk/pubs/heeley. Think he is referring to it becoming a car scrap dealers in 1985 ?
