The postbox prompted this photograph, as it is of a design that I cannot recall seeing before: mounted on a pole, with a wide box. In contrast I have seen a GviR postbox at a motorway services in South Yorkshire!

Footbridge over the M1 at Northampton Services
The services are about 4 miles south of Northampton town centre, at the Rothersthorpe Interchange (M1/A43). When opened in 1978, the service area was named "Rothersthorpe" and was located between junctions 15 and 16. However, in 1991 the Blisworth Bypass on the A43 was opened, this linked into the M1 at the Rothersthorpe site, creating a new junction (15A) surrounding the service area.
The footbridge was taken out of use in 2002 when the site was redeveloped, though it still remains in place.
