Description: | Copy of a photograph.
This was the first post office in Chandlers Ford, appearing first in Kelly's directory of 1899, located in Southampton Road (now Bournemouth Road) opposite the Hut Hotel. The sub-postmaster was Levi Pearce, who owned the grocery store in which the office was located. By 1907, he had relinquished this position, and was operating as a carrier from an address in Winchester Road.
The terrace, at the end of which the post office was situated, was built in the nineteenth century to house workers at the brickworks.
