Bear Cross: a postbox has a change of scenery

Since I photographed Image, many changes have taken place to its immediate surroundings. A pedestrian crossing has been installed directly next to us, and the pavement designated a shared foot/cycle path. To achieve the wider surface required for this, the grass edge has been removed and the postbox now stands directly on tarmac. The roundabout direction sign, which had stood directly in front of the postbox, has now been moved back a few yards and is visible in the distance. A lamppost has also been re-sited against the premises wall.
