The reason for having such a large postbox here is that it was once outside Hillbourne Post Office, a few doors up on the opposite side of the road. It was moved here doubtless after the post office closed (in 2004). It is an Edward VII-reign specimen and its last collection times are 5:15pm on weekdays and 12:15pm on Saturdays.
