Former Rockfield post office
In common with many other locations in the UK, the village of Rockfield in Monmouthshire no longer has a post office. It used to be in this house at the eastern edge of Post Office Row.
The red band on the corner of the building is not a postbox. It's a red band.

SE boundary of Rockfield, Monmouthshire
The road from Monmouth reaches the village of Rockfield. For several years the boundary sign also showed a would-be Welsh name for the village. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1241400
After a long campaign by villagers, the signs were replaced in 2011 and now show only Rockfield. Llanoronwy had been added in 2004. The crux of the campaign for its removal was that detailed research had not found any evidence that Welsh (or English) speakers had ever used a name for the village other than Rockfield.
The Welsh Language Board's guidelines are that pedantic or antiquarian forms and literal or whimsical translations should be avoided unless they are in common use both locally and nationally.
