A modern postbox of a design which seems only ever to be found on forecourts of petrol stations. Its advertised last collection times are 4:30pm on weekdays and 12:30pm on Saturdays. The number of the box, BH8 400, is a little spurious as it is a duplicate of the box outside the sorting office in Wellington Road. My theory as to how this occurred is that the sorting office box previously had a BH1 number and that was re-numbered to BH8 when the sorting office moved to Wellington Road.
