George V post box, Caerleon Road, Newport
Located at the corner of Caerleon Road and Heather Road. The shop, at 262 Caerleon Road, is Caerleon Road Stores. Previously the site was occupied by Graceland Stores and was at one time a post office.
Kelly's 1901 street directory locates a "letter pillar box" on the other side of the road, at 307 Caerleon Road. At this time, Heather Road did not exist : the highest even number (east side) for Caerleon Road was 228.
Speculation. One possible explanation (though I'm not convinced) is that when the Heather Road area was developed during the reign of George V (1910-1936),
a George V post box was installed outside the newly built post office, and the Victorian box on the other side of the road was moved here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1520492. But why not to install the new box at 149 Caerleon Road and simply move the existing box across the road ?

Revised bus service, Caerleon Road, Newport
There was a snowfall ranging from 4 inches (10cm) at lower levels up to about 6 inches (15cm) at higher elevations in the city overnight January 5th/6th 2010.
Main roads were quickly cleared, but side roads remained mostly snow-covered, causing difficulties for drivers in the hillier parts of the city.
Shown here is Caerleon Road approaching the bridge over the M4 at junction 25. The Newport Bus single-decker would normally proceed to the hilly St Julians area, and return to Caerleon Road at a junction nearer the city centre, but today its route was shortened to end at the motorway roundabout and return directly to the bus station via Caerleon Road.
Thus while hilly areas of St Julians had no bus service, this low-lying section of Caerleon Road had a more frequent service to the bus station than normal.
