New owner needed for the world\'s oldest working Post Office

New owner needed for the world's oldest working Post Office

It's been on the market since last autumn

Anyone interested in becoming part of "postal history" is being urged to consider buying the world's oldest working post office, which is still for sale.

Sanquhar Post Office in Dumfries and Galloway opened in 1712, eight years before the second oldest in Stockholm, Sweden.

The post office, which comes with a three-bedroom cottage, is on the market for £275,000, and has not found a buyer since it was put up for sale last autumn.

The existing owner, Dr Manzoor Alam and his wife, Nazra, have run Sanquhar Post Office since 2015 and are retiring at the end of May 2020.
