The disused postbox is in a wall http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2286842 between Hill Street and the B4591. Originally showing OUT OF SERVICE, the metal strip covering the mouth of the box is itself nearly out of service, presumably after some attention from vandals. It may not be long before the ivy partly covering the wall grows over this sorry specimen.
