Talbot Woods: postbox № BH3 363, Carrbridge Road
As with almost all the roads in the upmarket suburb of Talbot Woods, Carrbridge Road is named after a Scottish placename. A large drop box (see below) stands immediately behind the postbox.
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, although red stand-alone boxes are also to be seen.
