The postbox is marked GR (but not G VI R) i.e. George V who reigned until 1936. But the 1936 OS map does not show this road; even the 1947 map shows the road laid out but few houses yet. It's just possible that the road was made in 1935/36 before the King's death and before the Ordnance Survey picked it up, with the postbox being installed very early in the residential development. Or else it has been relocated from elsewhere.
