Royal Mail celebrated every gold medal won by a British athlete during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games by repainting one of their iconic red pillar boxes gold for each gold medal winning Olympian or Paralympian. This one, on Market Street, near Chapel-en-le-Frith Methodist Church, honours Anthony Kappes who won a gold medal in the Men's Track Cycling Individual Sprint event. In total, Team GB won 29 Gold Medals for the Olympic Games and 34 Gold Medals for the Paralympic Games; for team medals, a post box was painted gold for all team members (see http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/Olympic-Gold-Post-Boxes for list and more examples). This was the first occasion in modern times that Royal Mail had changed the colour of their post boxes from the traditional red which has been the standard colour for UK boxes from 1874, with very few exceptions. The original plan was for the boxes to be returned to their traditional red colour but in November, it was announced that they would remain gold and that a plaque would be fixed to each one (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20183986 BBC News). https://web.archive.org/web/20171231162534/https://www.goldpostboxes.com/ - archived 31st December 2017 (Royal Mail Gold Postbox Finder)

Originally this was the A625. When the A6 was rerouted via Chapel, this western section of the A625 became the A6 but after the bypass was built it became the B5470. The GR post box (SK23 51) on the left was painted gold in honour of Anthony Kappes Image

Originally this was the junction of the A624 and the A625. When the A6 was rerouted via Chapel, this western section of the A625 became the A6 but after the bypass was built is became the B5470. It is uncertain whether this last section of Hayfield Road is still part of the A624.
