Why it mattered
post box — Station Road matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: An attractive item of street furniture which is in continuous use, and remains in good condition. This post box is a fine example of early mass-produced cast-iron.

This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
