Broadway High Street, Eastern End

Very quiet for a High Street, a glance at the map shows that this was once part of the main thoroughfare through Broadway. Building a by pass has meant that this end of the street is now just another residential road, albeit a very wide and smart one.

Clearly an old letter box on Broadway High Street, unusual in that it has not letters relating to a monarch. It has the appearance of being Victorian.
