The A595 through Mealsgate

 Mealsgate was centred around the staggered crossroads of the A595 and B599. These photographs show what this locality looked like in the days before motor vehicles became commonplace.

In the foreground is the garden of Old Post Office Cottage with The Old Post Office, the large white building beyond.
