This postbox stands outside the garage and is emptied at 11am on weekdays and at 10am on Saturdays. I believe the garage used also to be the post office which closed on 7 July 1989. Being a southeast-northeast facing road, with properties all along the southwestern side, the road does not see much sun in the winter and you can see that the ice did not thaw all day on these cars – the picture was taken around 2pm and it was a beautifully sunny day, while it had been about -4ºC overnight.
