That's the one. I just wanted an excuse to get out on the new bike and that was the nearest one to me.
Of course, several fine drinking establishments were sampled along the way!

The other side of trig hunting!
The first of many, I’m sure!

Is that really 192¼ to London? You'd've thought the nearest half would be close enough!
Finally bagged a EviiiR pillar box on today's ride - it had to be done. On Ombersley Road, Worcester.
I have to say that after all the anticipation it was extremely underwhelming. I'm not that keen on the cypher being painted gold, and it desperately needs re-doing. In fact the whole box is tatty and seems a bit knocked about. I saw another nice angular Victorian box when passing through Cheltenham earlier, and that looked much better.

Thanks for that.
The comment on the one at Wolverton (Milton Keynes) sounds as though it was written for the Worcester example.
There's one about an hour's ride from me so that's today's ride sorted.
Just need to sort out the pub stops now!

The Toll-House is marked on the 1905 (6" - Mile) OS map as 'Chain Bar', so possibly, at some point, exactly that?
A chain pulled over the road, to prevent carts/carriages passing?
The pillars beyond, carried a bridge, that a tramway ran across, from a quarry
Open this map link, for the specific view

Not sure on the date of this image, taken from the Bramhope side of the bridge, with the Toll-House in the background
Change of plan. The good lady has driven me to the pub instead!
The post box will have to wait!

And a different utility plaque in Thrapston.
