EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a simpler time in the charming village of Clovelly, Devon. It showcases the daily operations of the local post office on 6th October 1935. The image captures a scene filled with hustle and bustle as post collections and deliveries are being carried out. In this snapshot from the past, we see a dedicated postman standing beside his trusty companion - a donkey loaded with sacks of mail. The donkey's patient demeanor reflects its familiarity with this routine task, symbolizing an era when animals played an integral role in everyday life. The quaint Clovelly Post Office stands proudly in the background, serving as both a hub for communication and a gathering place for locals exchanging news and gossip. A vintage Royal Mail van parked nearby suggests that even then, modern transportation methods were beginning to make their mark on traditional postal services. This photograph is not just about work; it encapsulates a sense of community spirit that was prevalent during those times. As villagers go about their day-to-day activities, they witness these essential exchanges between neighbors and friends – acts that connect people beyond physical distances. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints from Daily Mirror archives, this evocative image offers us an enchanting glimpse into history while reminding us of how much has changed since those days when letters were delivered by hoofed messengers instead of email or text messages.
