Chapel Postbox

I recently wrote to Royal Mail asking them to repaint the postbox built into the chapel wall. It's so faded it has something of a pinkish appearance. I also asked if the lettering might be painted gold as once it would have been.

Sadly, they said no to gold lettering but they do anticipate repainting it in 2017. Repaint it they did, but covering the royal ER monogram in red, rather gold, paint. A pity, I say.
