Post Office Row, Coddington

Main Street

Coddington History Group

Post Office Row is a terrace of seven cottages of various sizes and ages.  There have been many changes over the years, more cottages were added on each side at different times and number 21 is two cottages knocked together.  In the 1918 Coddington Estate sale the five cottages shown in the picture were sold for £460 but by 1977 they were in a sorry state as can be seen.

Photo:The cottage on the right, number 22, is believed to be the oldest because a bricked-up window can be seen on the internal west gable wall.

Photo:The row got its modern name because William Sharp, tenant of No 21 (the double fronted cottage in centre of photograph) in 1918, used the front room as the Post Office.
