Highcliffe: postbox № BH23 93, Nada Road
Nada Road is typical of the Highcliffe suburbs – smart modernish bungalows unfenced between gardens and road. The postbox, an Elizabeth II-reign one at the eastern end of the road, is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 12:30pm on Saturdays.
Drop box
A ‘drop box’ is an item of Royal Mail street furniture. It is a receptacle where the postman can securely store part of his morning round, at a convenient location. Sometimes, the Royal Mail van may drop off the postman with his bike and morning deliveries, saving him carrying a heavier load or frequent returns to the sorting office.
Originally drop boxes were attached to pillar boxes and, therefore, painted red to match. Nowadays, they are separate free-standing boxes – usually close to a postbox – generally painted grey but sometimes red.
