Blaenwaun Post Office
During the Second World War, this small two-room building was a hub of communications for the countryside around Blaenwaun in south-west Wales.
Letters, telegrams, newspapers and phone calls all radiated from here. During the war, Blaenwaun Post Office had a War Department radio receiver for urgent messages.*
