The Crossroads - Quadring
aka Post Office Corner
2017 Quadring crossroads - showing the green where the Black Bull Inn and snack bar once stood. The road junction would have been much 'sharper' back then.

Now known as Water Gate - here is Post Office corner. The three men are standing in front of Ebenezer Chapel. In front of the little shop is the sign post for The Black Bull, which is located to the right, with its picket fence.

Adjoining The Black Bull Inn, was a snack bar, hairdressers and cobblers, and formerly, a Butcher's shop.
Harold and Iris Hydes owned the Stores & Post Office at one time, and these are their delivery vans. Harold served as a Special Constable c 1939 - 1945. A glimpse of the Quadring water tower in the background.
