Loftus Post Office

Not the Post Office as we know today, at the time this image was taken the Post Office stood quite a way back from the road; where the cafe stands now. Opposite the Town Hall; from photographs we know that the Post Office has been in at least three different locations in Loftus.

Dyson Nutt, Loftus Market Place, 1918

Once again the caption to the image says it all! Dyson Nutt is pictured in Loftus Market Place; there are flags and balloons hanging from the windows of the White Horse in the background and many people about. Possibly the declaration of peace at the end of World War I. Dyson lived in his later years in the house with the white pillars beside the catholic presbytery, in Loftus Market Place.
