The King George V pillarbox on the corner of Chelmer Walk and Monnow Way, Bettws, dates from some time between 1910 and 1936, decades before the construction of the Bettws housing estate (1960s). In the first half of the 20th century, this was a rural, sparsely populated area which would not have warranted a pillarbox.
