I was walking from a nearby Church Micro Geocache towards Wimbledon when I spotted this, its a conservation area so it could be? It was, a nice little bonus on a damp drizzly day.

It's to be found at the junction of Sheridan Road and Dorset Road (B285).

The post box itself is rather rusted around the base but the rest is in good condition considering its age.
