Postbox, Bangor

George VI postbox on the Bryansburn Road in Bangor (BT20 94). For many years this box stood on the opposite side of the street outside what was then Bryansburn Post Office. With the closure of the post office a few years ago, the Royal Mail decided to do away with the postbox as well. Cue public uproar, letters to the local MP & newspaper, rally in the town centre etc. Royal Mail backs down almost immediately and relocates the box - albeit across the street to this location (probably good thinking - the old PO has been knocked down and redeveloped, this box would have been in the way).
