News: Auction date for Rotherham Post Office building
It was put at risk of closure for a year and a half ago and now the building which is home to a Post Office in the centre of Rotherham is up for sale.
Rothbiz reported in January 2017 that Rotherham's central Post Office on Bridgegate was named in a list of Crown branches at risk of closure. A partner was being sought to keep the branch open.
