TINTAGEL OLD POST OFFICE, CORNWALL

Tintagel Old Post Office, Cornwall

One of the attractions of the village at Tintagel, on Cornwall's north coast, is the Old Post Office. It is actually a 14th century stone house of a medieval manor style.

The house became the post office during Queen Victoria's reign when the building was granted a licence to become the receiving office for the local area.

An old red post box can be seen in the photo below - which is built into the wall and has Queen Victoria's initials.
