Located near the corner of Sward Close. A postbox sometimes indicates when the adjacent houses were built, but this is not true here. King George V reigned from May 1910-January 1936. A 1940s map shows that this area was farmland. There was a road nearby at that time, Groes Road, so it seems likely that the postbox was installed for a farming community.
