A NEW enterprise is being delivered from a town's former post office.

The Kirkgate premises that were home to Silsden Post Office for 110 years have been transformed into a cafe and bar.

Behind the venture are Helen Rampling, who formerly ran the now-closed Bilaluci across the road, and Gavin Hawker.

They were supported by a £36,330 grant from a European Union fund for rural businesses and community assets.

The couple salvaged the front section of the old post office counter and have incorporated it into the new-look premises, which were packed for the opening weekend.

Now renamed The Old Post Office, the building – which the Cathey family had operated as postmasters for more than 60 years – closed in 2017.

The post office facility was incorporated into nearby Twiggs Newsagents.
