A Victorian pillar box on St Pauls Road at the junction with Marle Hill Parade in Cheltenham in the county of Gloucestershire, UK. It is one of seven Penfold boxes left in Cheltenham. As at May 2017 there were eight Penfolds in the town but on June 17th 2017 the one on College Lawn was knocked over and destroyed by a lorry. I do hope it gets restored and reinstated soon.
