Large postbox in a wall, St Luke's Road, Torquay
Noticeably bigger than a standard wall-mounted box, located at the edge of Waverley House Mental Health Centre. There are many hotels and guest houses hereabouts - perhaps this size of box is needed to accommodate the volume of tourist postcards...

An empty niche
This roadside feature between St Luke's Road and Abbey Road appears to have lost its essence. Was this a water fountain (with a small pipe still extruding), a milestone or a marker of some sort? Old maps show nothing of note here.
