London: new postbox on Rosebery Avenue

This postbox has been positioned here in the last twelve months, outside Image The sorting office is due to undergo considerable development work shortly, which will involve the temporary relocation of the post office branch to a shop across Farringdon Road. This is therefore perhaps a future replacement for postbox № EC1 100, which is currently set within the wall of the building - see Image The box is not yet operational; its slots are closed by way of a metal barrier affixed to the inside. Update: Indeed, Julian Osley's photo of Mount Pleasant Post Office in January 2014 Image shows the wall postboxes sealed up with tape - so my theory above has proven to be correct.
