From a distance, I noticed something odd about this George VI postbox on the west side of Cae Perllan Road, between Byron Road and New Pastures. On close inspection, I saw that it was about a foot shorter than the usual height for a postbox. If it sinks much more, the black base will disappear and the door won't open!
