Sorry about the quality, I couldn't see the damn screen in this sunshine.

In a farmer's field just outside Leamington. No idea how to link the exact co-ordinates.

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.

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
