This is a relatively rare example of the Type G postbox, a square variety introduced in the mid-1970s and often, as here, found as a pair sharing a top. It faces the parade of shops which now coincidentally includes Image The collection plate is missing from the right-hand box, revealing the 'next collection' indicator dial which originally would have been set by the postman so that the relevant figure would show through a hole. Nowadays, only the final collection time is advertised, so the modern information plate does away with the hole is no longer included (as per the left-hand plate).

This post office, within a McColl's general store, opened in December 2016 as a replacement for an office in King's Acre Road, about half a mile away. It is on a parade which swings around the corner of White Cross Road (which it faces) and Yazor Road which heads left just behind the camera - although the address of the shop is actually 2 Yazor Road. The postbox was already outside the parade.

White Cross is thought to have been built in 1362 by Bishop Charlton to mark the site of a market place to the west of the city because people where afraid to enter the city due to the plaque. The Black Death which first hit the city of Hereford in 1349 returned claiming more lives in 1361. The six coat of arms around the six sided base of the shaft are that of Bishop Charlton, alternating between a lion rampant and a lion rampant with crosses. The cross underwent restoration in 1864 under Sir George Gilbert Scott, and again in 1992. The cross is Grade II* listed.
