The postbox is tucked up by the wall of the building because it used to be a post office. The postbox appears to still be in use, because the posting aperture has not been sealed, although the plate giving details of last collections is missing. An interesting feature is that a stamp vending machine is attached to the side of the postbox. This is no longer in use, and the apertures where the coins went in and the stamp booklets came out have been blanked off. The postbox number is B98 31. The post code is B98 8LR.
