The Lane End Post Office closed early 2004 after being a Cropper family business for 110 years. Noel Cropper took over from his uncle, Elwyn, and had been running the sub-post office with his wife, Jean, for twenty-seven years before his death in December 2003, aged 64.
See 28.60 for further information on the Cropper family businesses.
