SO7867 : Don't post your letters here!

Don't post your letters here!
It is quite common in rural areas to see postboxes like this in all sorts of places. This one, attached to a post of the entrance gate to a property, at first sight looked like another example. But in fact it is not a public postbox but is used for delivering letters to the property. The giveaway, apart from the unusual gold lining of the lettering etc., is that the next collection is shown as a bank holiday, and also collections are listed as being undertaken on Sundays - both are practices long abandoned by Royal Mail! This is actually a replica although apparently the manufacturer is incorrect.
