This Georgian letterbox stands at the junction with the Bath Road and Purlpit. The Allen-made box has been a feature at this point for some time, with a box of some sort being here since late Victorian times. In addition, there is a benchmark below it - but that is a mere post-war mark. See Image] for a wider view and https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm152993 for the entry in the Benchmark Database.
