There are some interesting photos on this site,

Go to the Huntley page, look at Huntley Post Office circa 1923 and note the windows and position of the sign. Then go to Huntley Village circa 1925 View No. 5. In this latter photo you can clearly see the Post Office right in the middle. It might be that my eyes are playing tricks but I’m sure it says GREEN over the door of the house/shop on the far left. The 1911 Census shows that there was only one schedule between the GREENs and the Post Office.

On the Longhope page there is a picture of W.A.BRADLEY’s shop in Longhope. Clearly he is operating a drapery but there is what appears to be part of the same set-up on the left which looks like something else. I cannot make out what it says above this part – General Provisioner?

(Later note:- Found a better copy on this site. It say General Warehousemen). Perhaps W.A BRADLEY had more then one shop.
