Closure of Knighton Village Post Office

A very modern problem experienced in 1972 by the people of Knighton: what happens when the Post Office closes down?

At Knighton in Staffordshire the Post Office has just closed and, with the nearest town of Market Drayton in neighbouring Shropshire six miles away, that means a very real problem. Peter Green gauges local reaction from the local pensioner population and comes away with no real sense of how the villagers are going to manage.
