Windback Wednesday - Glen Osmond Post Office

Did you know a post office has operated in Glen Osmond (on Glen Osmond Road between Vine Lane and Queens Lane) since 1884? The post office was started by Mrs Mary Bowen, who ran her business at what is now 367 Glen Osmond Road until 1906.

Records indicate that the post office operated in this location for close to 90 years. In the 1970s it moved to the adjoining shop at 365b Glen Osmond Road where it has continued since.

Yesterday saw the final day of service of the Glen Osmond Post Office, which is now permanently closed as of Wednesday 4 September. The Glen Osmond Post Office has served the community in it's current location for over 50 years and will be missed by many nearby residents who accessed it on a regular basis.

The image of the Glen Osmond Post Office below is undated but is likely to have been taken pre-1970 at 367 Glen Osmond Road, which has since been demolished and redeveloped.
