Building record 1402100000 - The Former Post Office, Market Hill, Buckingham

The former Post Office is set back from the carriageway and behind the building lines of its neighbours, Christ Church Hospital and no. 6 Market Hill, this 1939 structure is one of the finest examples of 1930s architecture in Buckingham. It is a solid, two storey structure in the Neo-Georgian style which sits upon a granite plinth, is constructed of brick and has a string course of ashlar stone which runs through the ground floor level. Relatively plain in its detailing, the elevation is uncluttered by rainwater goods, and relies for its architectural flourishes on the central doorway which sits within a classic stone surround with pediment above and four tall elegant wooden round headed windows flanking the entrance - two on either side. A local building of note within the Conservation Area of Buckingham (B1).
