WH Smith with Post Office in Chandler's Ford

Here is the new WHSmith in Fryern Arcade, Chandler's Ford, which opened last Friday, and which now houses the Post Office.

Late opening post office till

At the moment it has no book section, although the manager says that one will be added very soon; and he mentioned another very useful facility: there will be an extra post office till alongside the shop's counter and which will be open all the time the shop itself is open, which could be as late as 7pm on weekdays, all day Saturdays, and even for a while on Sundays.

I particularly like the very comprehensive magazine section, which we have had nowhere in Chandler's Ford since Alldays closed about six years ago.  And since the demise of the bookshop it's good to know that we'll have the facility to order any books not carried in stock once more.

As for the old post office, in three weeks time a butcher's will be opening there, a welcome replacement for the one that used to be in The Mall on the opposite side of Winchester Road.
