Roch: suspect Victorian postbox

Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 18 Aug 2010

Set into the wall of the house next door to the post office, this postbox is not in use and purports to be Victorian. However, the words POST BOX rather than POST OFFICE across the hood of the slot make me suspect that it may not be genuine. The only other box I have seen with this wording was also not in use.
