Tintagel Post Office

[debris4spike]

As I said, last Saturday I went to Tintagel Post Office.  Tintagel is infamous as being where King Arthur had a castle, and where Merlin had his cave.

However this building was built in the 14th century - 3 rooms, with a thatch roof.

In 1538 the roof was replaced with slate.

in 1710 the house was modernised and remodelled with 3 upstairs rooms.

Throughout the 19th century the property was used by an assortment of businesses ... and in 1903 it was an early purchase by The National trust.

















Great way to add stairs to a flat wall.

1789

It's a brilliant place - and great to know it had 500 years of use

Those stairs on the flat wall are insane!

It's a brilliant way to add stairs on a flat wall ... and actually not as scary as I thought they would be
