Jim Jenkyn, who lives in Marden, held the post from 1978 until his retirement in 1981. He is also believed to be the first member of the City of Hereford Rotary Club to reach his century landmark. He is now an honorary member of the club. Mr Jenkyn was born in West Cornwall, just after the end of the Spanish flu pandemic and grew up on a small farm. He began his working life in 1937 as a telephonist and postal officer at Penzance post office before moving on to the Great Western travelling post office from Penzance to Plymouth. He survived a couple of hair-raising and potentially fatal incidents during those early years of World War Two, once being thrown against the curtain covering the open door by the movement of the train and on another occasion being marooned on the Brunel Bridge in Plymouth when the train came to a standstill.
