This is a hit&miss Post Office. I've used it many dozens of times and sometimes I came away feeling…read morequite pleased that I'd been served well, other times I vowed never to return (until the following day at least!). It's inside a large newsagents so if you've got kids with you be prepared for lots of 'I want, I want' as it's full of sweets and toys. There are often large queues, which aren't helped by the fact that the staff seem to spend quite a lot of time talking to each other rather than serving. Not always, but enough times that it becomes an annoyance for regular users. Bizarrely, the nearest Post Box is a few hundred yards down the road, so either hand letters in over the counter or take a bit of a walk after you've bought your stamps! If you're an Ebayer in the area, I'd much sooner recommend taking a trip out to Scawby where the service is absolutely excellent and can't be faulted in any way.

There is usually a queue which can be quite long, but often you won't have to wait too long to be able to use it. If the queue is too long you can browse the magazines in the newsagent section of the shop area.

Many moons ago I looked at buying the old post office in Barrow..it was very cheap and quite large…read morebut woefully delapidated. There is an abundance of historical buildings in the village and in 1974 it was designated a conservation area. Barrow has a mix of 18th and 19th Century houses from all social backgrounds, and was once home to many workers from farms in surrounding villages. It is easily missed as it is on the old road leading from the south of the Humber Bridge.It is however an interesting example of time standing still somewhat. Barrow-upon-Humber's origins have been traced back to at least the 7th Century when a monastery was founded by St Chad. It never grew into a town and was destroyed by Viking raids in the 9th Century. Barrow's strategic importance is illustrated by the huge motte and bailey castle constructed by Drogo de la Beauvriere in the 11th Century. Barrow-upon-Humber Castle is an enormous earthwork motte and bailey, which retains part of its rampart and wet ditch. Built in the Norman plan, the two huge baileys have the large low motte in-between. It is located south of Barrow Haven, by The Beck at West Hann Lane. 12 miles south of Hull on the A63-A15(Humber Bridge)-A1077 or 18 miles north-east of Scunthorpe on the A1077. I went with a friend and we couldn't find it so we randomly knocked on a door and asked. It was behind the house and we wandered around the soggy moat remains. One of the village's most famous sons was John Harrison (1693-1776) (an ancester) who invented the first practical marine-chronometer which enabled sailors to accurately compute their position in the sea. Barrow was once a thriving rope-making and basket-weaving village and in the last century there was a massive population growth leading to the forming of New Holland. Tourist attractions include the Holy Trinity Church, part of which dates back to the 13th Century, and the listed vicarage built in the 1800s. The church was partially restored in 1841 and again in 1856 and a third time in 1869. It seats about 400. The old Congregational Chapel, now a band room, is one of the village's most unusual buildings with its steel sloping roof. Worth a quick visit if you are coming south off the Humber bridge.

I really wish it was possible to give 6 stars, because if anyone deserved it, then Sue at Scawby…read moredoes. She really knows her stuff, is incredibly switched on, and is so efficient that it makes all the others look like Mickey Mouse outfits in comparison. If you're a regular Ebayer, then they'll offer a 'dump and run' type service - just leave your parcels and when it's quiet they'll process them all for you, and you can make arrangements for payment to suit. This saves massive queues building up, and is a massive bonus to those of us who hate turning up with a huge bag of parcels. Road tax is available, and it is nice not to have to queue for ages to get it! The service is exceptional - very friendly and personal, and once she knows who you are, Sue has an unbelievable ability to remember everything you tell her! She went through a rather rough time a couple of years ago, but still the Post Office carried on without a hitch - a true testament to Sue's professionalism. Sadly I've moved away from the area but still call in with my post if I can. Please support this local PO if you can at all - they really do work hard and are at the very heart of the village community. Many from Brigg and the surrounding villages make the journey, and it is worth the extra couple of miles.

Can work out beneficial if you use the diveden card and is also good if you need an item desperately such as a fridge as they usually keep them in stock. The staff are friendly and helpful, but to be honest I think thats because they like to talk to someone as it is very rare you seeing them deal with any customers.
