In the wall here. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4228909 The green-painted facsimile of a Victorian postbox has an unsealed aperture, but instead of a collection times notice, there is a notice for the adjacent beauty salon. Chris Downer has pointed out clues that this is a fake - the words POST BOX on the hood, which would be POST OFFICE if genuine. Also the lack of any way of opening the box. Where is the keyhole? Richard Ellis has added the comment that a genuine box has only one crown, not two.
