The UK's northernmost example of a 'Type K' postbox, which was introduced in 1980. It serves an industrial estate in the northern outskirts of town. Like all boxes in Lerwick, there are two weekday 'final collection' times, one for off-islands next-day delivery (11:30am) and one for Shetland items (5pm). The single advertised Saturday collection is 3:15pm.
