Close to Image on the road to Caldbeck, serving a community of scattered dwellings. A database of postbox locations http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/374/response/1164/attach/2/PO%20Boxes%20A%20Z.pdf shows this one in the postcode area CA7 8EF, at a place called Blue Gate. This seems be a local name for the area round Priest's Brow, but it does not appear on OS maps. We did not notice any blue gates nearby, but in this photo the road looks remarkably blue. It is probably a reflection of the bright sky on the wet surface - the dry road edge is a normal looking grey.
