My first decision made when writing "Lena and Miss Cawkwell" was that Lena would be the village postmistress during the war. All that cycling around the village and surrounding farms met her needs in more ways than one! My research led me to not only the Home Front but also the Front Lines with the PO Rifles.

I'd love to know what you think!

TGJONES: New Deputy First Minister raises alarm over Neath Post Office threat as she writes to chain over closure risk
Wales’s newly-appointed Deputy First Minister has written to TGJones demanding answers about the future of its Neath store — warning that its closure would put a Post Office counter used by some of the town’s most vulnerable residents at risk.
Sioned Williams, Plaid Cymru MS for Brycheiniog Tawe Nedd, wrote to the chain on 12 May raising concerns about the impact of the proposed restructuring on communities in her constituency, where both the Neath and Brecon branches have been rumoured to be among those at risk.
The Neath TGJones store currently hosts a Post Office counter — a service that Williams said raises concerns not just about the variety of shops in the town centre, but about continued access to basic services for residents, especially older people and those with limited mobility or access to transport.
In a Facebook post accompanying the letter, Williams said: “I am concerned to hear that the Post Office in Neath may be at risk given the proposed closure of TGJones stores across Wales — where the Neath Post Office currently sits.”
She added that any loss of the sites would raise concerns not only about retail provision, but about access to basic services for residents who depend on them.
The letter, addressed to TGJones management, asks the chain to clarify whether any Welsh stores are currently under active consideration for closure or subject to landlord negotiations, how community impact and service dependency are being assessed when decisions about store viability are made, and what engagement has taken place — or is planned — with Post Office Ltd, local authorities, or other stakeholders where stores host essential services.
Williams also called for alternatives to full closure — including relocation, service-only retention, or partnership approaches — to be explored in locations where the loss of a store could significantly affect a town centre.
The intervention comes as seven TGJones branches across south-west Wales face an uncertain future — including the Swansea Quadrant, Neath, Llanelli, Carmarthen, Bridgend, Tenby and Haverfordwest — after owner Modella Capital announced plans to close up to 150 stores nationally as part of a major restructuring.
The financial picture facing the chain is bleak. Documents circulated to creditors revealed that TGJones owes £8.4 million to HMRC, with a six-month payment agreement struck in April — and a further £3.4 million in business rates arrears, with bailiffs reported to be a real threat if payments are not maintained.
WH Smith, which sold its 480 high street stores to Modella Capital in March 2025 before they were rebranded as TGJones, has separately refused to fund enhanced redundancy payments for staff who could lose their jobs.
The restructuring requires approval from a High Court judge, with a hearing expected in late June. Landlords are likely to face demands for severe rent reductions, and those who refuse could simply have their stores handed back to them.
Post Office has previously said it will update communities if any of its services hosted within TGJones stores are forced to relocate as a result of the closures — but has given no guarantees that services would remain in the same towns.
Williams’s letter represents the most senior political intervention in the TGJones crisis in Wales to date. She was this week named Deputy First Minister in Wales’s first ever Plaid Cymru government — notably, the letter was written on 12 May, the day before the cabinet was announced.
The High Court hearing in late June remains the key date for staff and communities across south-west Wales with an interest in the future of the affected stores.
The Neath branch is one of three TGJones stores in south-west Wales known to host a Post Office counter — the Swansea Quadrant and Carmarthen branches also provide the service. Post Office Ltd has previously pledged to update communities if any hosted services are forced to relocate, but has given no guarantee that alternative provision would remain in the same town.

TGJONES: Post Office promises to update communities if any branches are forced to relocate amid TGJones store closures
Post Office customers in south-west Wales who use services located inside their local TGJones have been reassured that they will continue to be able to do so – for now.
The statement comes after Swansea Bay News reported yesterday that up to 150 TGJones stores across the UK are facing closure under restructuring plans announced by the chain’s owner, Modella Capital.
Seven stores across south-west Wales are among those potentially affected, including the Quadrant Shopping Centre branch in Swansea and stores in Neath, Llanelli, Bridgend, Carmarthen, Tenby and Haverfordwest.
But many of those branches host an in-store Post Office – and readers immediately raised concerns about what would happen to those vital local services if the parent shops close.
Several readers contacted Swansea Bay News following the original report.
“They can’t possibly get rid of a post office. It serves as a bank for some people,” wrote one reader.
Others raised specific concerns about the Neath branch on Wind Street.
“Skewen has one post office, but we used to have three years ago,” said another reader. “Losing Neath post office would be unacceptable.”
“There’ll be no post office in Neath centre,” said another.
In response to these concerns, Swansea Bay News asked the Post Office press office to clarify the future of in-store branches if their TGJones host stores were to close.
A Post Office spokesperson said the network recognised the difficult conditions facing high street retailers, and confirmed it had no immediate plans to change services.
“We fully recognise the challenging trading conditions that TGJones and many other High Street retailers are facing at the moment,” the spokesperson said.
“We have a long-standing partnership and encourage customers to continue to access Post Office services and products from our branches located within TGJones stores.”
The Post Office said it would commit to keeping local communities informed of any future changes.
“Should there be any change to the store that hosts the Post Office, we will inform the local community as soon as we’re able to,” the spokesperson added.
The Post Office network operates more than 11,500 branches across the UK – many of them inside other businesses including newsagents, supermarkets and convenience stores.
The model has long been used to keep Post Office services accessible in towns and high streets where standalone branches would not be commercially viable.
But the model also creates a vulnerability – when the host business gets into difficulty, the Post Office service can be at risk too.
The Post Office’s statement will reassure customers that, for now, services will continue as normal at TGJones-hosted branches across south-west Wales.
But the position will become clearer once Modella Capital announces which specific TGJones stores will be closed under its restructuring plans – a decision that has not yet been made public.
The Post Office has confirmed the network has not been told which stores will close.
For now, customers in Swansea, Neath, Llanelli, Bridgend, Carmarthen, Tenby and Haverfordwest can continue to use their local in-store Post Office as normal.
Modella Capital, which also owns Hobbycraft and previously owned the now-collapsed Claire’s chain, is expected to confirm the full list of TGJones store closures in the coming weeks.

The old post office is now Cook's Natural Market. It looks so different than it did when it was the post office. We went on a field trip to this post office in 1990, so it's nice to compare and contrast, and it still has the mirrors along the ceiling on the one side. #postoffice #cooksnaturalmarket #rogersarkansas
