Jumpers: postbox № BH23 41, Grove Road West
Above this George V-reign postbox, we look along Avon Road west from the junction with Grove Road West. There are the reciprocal 'Easts' for both roads, which meet similarly. The box is emptied finally at 5:30 on weekday evenings and at 12:15 on Saturday afternoons.
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.
