First Leamington Post Office

Watercolour on paper

The painting shows two figures standing outside a thatched building on Mill Lane, which was the first post office in Leamington Spa. The post office was established by Benjamin Satchwell, the first postmaster of Leamington, near the end of the Eighteenth Century. The post office building that is depicted in the painting was pulled down in 1871, one year after the present post office building was erected on Bath Street.
