This postbox is an example of a shortlived square design of the mid-1970s and stands at the junction of Divinity Road (down which we look) and Hill Top Road (left). Royal Mail announced during the London 2012 Games that it would paint a postbox gold in honour of each British Olympic and Paralympic gold medal winner - this one is in honour of Paralympic rowing medallist Lily van den Broecke, who is from these parts.
