Little Shelford's old post office in Church Street pictured in 1920 when Miss Minnie Austin was the Post Mistress. It closed in 1962 when Post Mistress Mrs Hudson died. The building was sold to Adele Nelia Bayon and Joan Nelia Topham Smith on 25 November 1963. In the conveyance it was described as ‘known as ’The Stores’ 6 Church Street’. It was then converted to a house.
Ephraim Clamp was the postmaster at the turn of the 20th century when the shop advertised groceries and drapery. Later Sarah Annie Miles and her son ran the Post Office. Her son Gillie can be seen on the motor bike. An old soldier can be seen in the centre - his rolled up sleeve is a reminder of his sacrifice for his country. From Great & little Shelford in Old Picture Postcards by Margaret Ward.
The old vicarage. Formerly the Rectory, it was built in 1858 for the Rev. James Edmund Law in the early English Gothic revival style. In 1962 the Rectory was sold into private ownership and a modern house for the Rector was built further along Manor Road.

"The old Parsonage (above) was taken down in the year 1859 and on the same site is now built the new Rectory." From A Record of Shelford Parva by Fanny Wale P54.
This photo above was taken before 1859. It is therefore believed to be Little Shelford's oldest photo.
