Harby ROC Post - Lincoln Group - April 2010

[Goldie87]

Paid a return visit to Harby and met the new landowner. Decent chap who had no problem with us going to look at the post. The tbar has now been mangled and the hatch is held shut with a brick. The whole comms board has now also gone missing, and you could see someone had been having a good rummage through everything. Real shame as this was a really clean post, one of Leicestershires best I did have a quick tidy up while we were there. Im really tempted to go back and speak to the owner about repairing the hatch.

A sink? ive never seen a sink in a post before

 

[diehardlove]

yeah the sink is pretty cool,thats a shame about the post it was a cracker

 

[Urban Mole]

Im sure quite a few have sinks, but not usually like that, there normally in the WC.
2 out of the 6 here on the Island have standard sink units

Good post, nicely kept, and not wrecked like most of them are nowadays...

 

[Mr Sam]

Can you remember the date on that Sun newspapers by any chance? OR what was on the cover?

Yep the farmer is an interesting bloke to speak to, not seen him about for a few years though! He used to open the post up on special days, but that hasn't happened for a long time. I think he had left some stuff in there around 2007 and it got stolen As MD says the land is now owned by another old chap, he seems a decent bloke.
