Sherborne: postbox № DT9 2, The Green
This Victorian postbox can be dated to the period 1879-87, during which the 'VR' cipher was omitted from the front of the box. In fact, the higher than usual position of the posting slot tells us that it dates from the first half of that period. Its final collection times are 5:30pm on weekdays and 12:30pm on Saturdays.
