Wolstanton Post Office - a photo on Flickriver

Wolstanton Post Office

            Wolstanton Post Office, on the corner of High Street/Ellison Street. I had been staring at this picture for ages, trying to work out the ghost sign on the side. I was convinced that it was 'Victoria something-or-other' and then a little lightbulb appeared above my head - Victor Value!!

The chain sold out to Tesco in 1968, who in turn sold some stores onto to Bejam, which subsequently became Iceland. This must have been a small branch that may have been sold off independently, assuming that it ever made it to the 1968 take-over in the first place.
