Carlton Hill Post Office postbox ref NG4 191
The Post Office used to be a couple of blocks further east, but moved into the convenience store about 3 years ago. There was a pillar box outside that location which remained there for a few months before disappearing, without a replacement near the new Post Office. It seems that there was a problem with the location of underground services which meant that it was found to be impossible to install the pillar box. Some 2 years later, a lampbox has finally appeared outside the Post Office. The small box is symptomatic of the greatly reduced volume of mail now being posted in postboxes.
