The Market Place Post Office has a deceptive name as it located away from the main market place…read morearea and is actually found in the west end of the front street. It is very easy to find and is near to the TSB bank. There is a post box outside of the building. The building has a slight ramp up to the door which means easy access for prams and wheelchairs. The door is easy to open too. Inside there is a small area where you can queue. I find that because it gets so busy the queue is often trailing out of the front entrance. This makes entering and exiting very difficult. There is a stand selling cards for all occassions, a working photo booth and a children's bubblegum machine inside. There is also a wall mounted stand where you can get padded envelopes. If you need to write anything or fill out a form you can lean on the windowsill area. This is a bit awkward but there is usually a pen lying on the sill ready to be used. There are several booths where you can be served. I do find that the most staff here is usually two people and more often it is only one. This tends to mean long queues and waiting times. There are pens chained to the boothes and scales where you can weigh your post. The staff talk you through all transactions. I must say that some staff members are a little bit stern and bad tempered and sometimes just gesture instead of speaking. I find this a little rude and unpleasant. A busy, post office, the next nearest office is located next door to the Spar shop at Bedlington Station. Parking is available at street level or behind the front street in free carpark.

The staff are helpful and knowledgeable and offer informative advice. Recently, this post office has branched out and it is now also a delicatessen, offering a range of food items, mainly in the health food type line, and a range of mouthwatering quiches, cheeses and cakes - which I believe are locally produced and are absolutely gorgeous. With some off street parking just in front it is very convenient.

Last year I made the mistake of paying someone to proof read my passport form before I sent it off and someone didn't do their job properly. The good thing about this shop is that it's fairly central and you can buy bubble wrap, parcel boxes and there is a fair selection of reasonably priced plain stationery.
