John Dodds came to Coggeshall in 1894 and retired in February 1927 after 32 years as postmaster. His workers bought him with a clock inscribed, 'Presented to Mr John Adamson Dodds by the postmen and staff of the Post-office and Printing works as a token of their esteem on his retirement'. The Dodd's only son was killed in the Great War but they also had a daughter who married Mr S G Parish, and he took over as Postmaster. John Dodds retired to Albert Place where he died in 1929
