A rather unusual postbox, with the E II R insignia embossed on what I think is probably a wooden door, set into the porch of the post office. Its final collection times - 5:15pm on weekdays and 12:15pm on Saturdays - are 15 minutes before the office closes for business, no doubt so that the postman at the same time can collect the post from the counter.
