Dist:0.2km<br/>A George V-reign postbox in the tree-lined Manor Road on the East Cliff. It seems an unlikely place to start the numbering of the town's postboxes, but that seems to be the case.

Dist:0.2km<br/>In Derby Road, built on the site of Saugeen Preparatory School. The school's most notable pupil was probably John Galsworthy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Galsworthy, best known as author of the Forsythe Chronicles.

Dist:0.3km<br/>About a year ago, the [[860954]] was moved to this new position, close to the Derby Road crossroads. Its original position was in the distance as we look now. The only reason I can think of for this movement is that, after the bus lane was put in a few years ago, it was difficult for the postman to stop to empty the box without causing an obstruction – whereas now he can park just around the corner.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This postbox in Knyveton Road has no cipher giving the reign in which it was made. These were manufactured between 1879 and 1887 so, despite the anonymity, it is Victorian. The road name is pronounced 'Nivverton'.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The former David Lloyd Health Club on Knyveton Road, currently being demolished. No doubt the site will become apartments, though planning permission has so far been refused.
