One each side of the door of Haxey Post Office, these two postboxes unusually have the same reference number on the Royal Mail's list. They are a father-and-daughter pair, the George VI-reign box set into the wall and the Elizabeth II-reign one sited alongside the building, presumably installed because the original one wasn't big enough for the amount of items posted here. Unsurprisingly, they have identical final collection times - 5pm on weekdays and 11:15am on Saturdays. See Image for a close-up of the farther box.
