Beatrix Potter as well as living at Hill Top at Far Sawrey owned many other properties in the area which she rented out, including the post office. Despite this being the nearest place to me I have no idea if it is still there as it is a nightmare trying to park in such a small place which is a popular place for visitors to the area. Surprisingly a lot of the small sub post offices survive in the Lake District possibly thanks to all those tourists and usually operate as a general store and post office.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253875352864018195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-2468432246953260782015-07-07T17:02:08.672-04:002015-07-07T17:02:08.672-04:00I lived in Cheshire for a time and my parents live...I lived in Cheshire for a time and my parents lived near Blackpool.
