Tolstachaolais: postbox № HS2 62 This postbox stands more or less in the centre of the village, in front of a house that is set particularly well back from the road. The larger-scale map still marks that house as a post office, although it has actually (as reflected in the 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 map) relocated just over a kilometre to the north - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3086624">NB1939 : Tolstachaolais: the post office</a>.
