A George V reign postbox at the entrance to Pixton Park. The bank is covered in primroses. It flowers in early spring, one of the earliest spring flowers in much of Europe. In appropriate conditions, it can cover the ground in open woods and shaded hedgerows. In more populated areas it has sometimes suffered from over-collection and theft so that few natural displays of Primroses in abundance can now be found. To prevent excessive damage to the species, picking of Primroses or the removal of Primrose plants from the wild is illegal in the UK.
