Beckingham Post Office postbox ref DN10 469
Standard EIIR (Royal Mail) pillar box. The box was not the usual replacement for a built-in box at a post office when the Royal Mail was split off, but was installed at the request of the village in 2005 because the existing wall box in the former Primitive Methodist Chapel was too small for the amount of mail.
