Winton: Christmas cracker
The Christmas lights in Winton denote several festive objects such as a star, robin, tree, stocking and – as seen here – a Christmas cracker.
A glowing candle can be seen on the next lamppost along, and a Santa Claus can be discerned in the distance across the road.

Winton: postbox with restricted slot width
The notice, affixed to the side of Image on January 30, explains that following attacks on this box with fireworks over the last few years, the aperture has been narrowed to restrict what can be inserted. This aims to discourage such interference and the restriction will be removed when it is felt that the threat to this box and its contents is no longer an issue.
In the mean time, details are given of the nearest points where larger items can be posted.

Winton: YMCA
It is highly unusual for the YMCA to have a branch in such a non-town centre location. Winton YMCA was built in 1927, replacing a more primitive building nearby, according to a former billiards player whom I talked to, who was a member of the Winton YMCA billiards team that won the local league title in the season 1926-27.
