This Victorian postbox stands outside 93 Seabourne Road, the former Pokesdown Post Office, which closed around 1998. It was replaced by the Boscombe East branch which opened in May 1997 a short distance away (which itself had closed in 1991). On this side of the box, markings can be discerned where a stamp dispensing machine would have been affixed to the side – the word 'Office' to the right of the slot is defaced by this.
