This Elizabeth II-reign postbox serves the eastern part of this fairly cast housing estate, and is emptied at 5:15pm on weekdays and at 11:30am on Saturdays, the Saturday time apparently a recent change since it is displayed on a sticker over the previous time. Beyond, we look down a footpath to one of the 'arms' of Sopwith Crescent.
