Thanks Robert.

 

I’ve been trying to track down some of the local unmapped ones. 

 

This one I need to update (thanks to the ex-parish clerk who is regularly on a 
pub quiz team with me confirming):

The actual location is the Memorial Club accessed from Harwich Road, but 
probably closer to the Lodge Road postcode.

 

This one is proving more elusive:

http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/postoffice/branch/90116

It has a postcode in Ramsey village, has but the name of a  different village. 
I tried contacting the Ramsey & Parkeston Parish Clerk and they suggested I 
contact Great Oakley, which suggests it isn’t in Ramsey at all (their village 
hall is on Church Hill the other side of the A120).

 

However there is one in Great Oakley Village Hall on Monday and Thursday 
mornings: http://www.great-oakley.co.uk/calendar.php which doesn’t seem to be 
mapped or missing. This used to be Tuesday afternoons and Thursdays according 
to this 2001 article when it first started: 
http://www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/5478106.Great_Oakley___Use_or_lose__your_post_office_service/
 Ah – and according to that article it was being run by the operator of Upper 
Dovercourt Post Office, which is on a Main Road, but not the one in Ramsey 
which is indicated by the post code. So I think that must be the one, only 
3.5km away from where the post office think it is, and with different opening 
hours.

 

I’ll tag it as you suggested, perhaps also with the id as mentioned in your 
earlier email to help match them.

 

Ed
