The building dates from 17th and early 18th century and it one time the building was the Royal Oak public house. There is a K6 type telephone box standing beside the building. In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.

The George VI reign (1936-52) postbox is set into the wall of the Post Office. For a wider view of the building Image
