This Elizabeth II-reign postbox is misnumbered because it is comfortably in BH15 rather than BH16 – the collection plate concurs with Royal Mail's postbox list that it has a BH16 number, however. It does sometimes happen that a box close to the postcode boundary has the 'wrong' number – if its collections are made on a route through the 'other' area; however, this box is so deep into BH15, with all surrounding boxes correctly numbered, that this cannot be the explanation here. Anyway, the box is an Elizabeth II-reign specimen and its final collection times are 5pm on weekdays and 12:15pm on Saturdays.
