Description
This is a pillar box located on the north side of the junction with Parabola Road in Cheltenham. It was built between 1866 and 1879 and designed by J.W.

Cheltenham is home to eight of the 94 surviving Penfold-type Victorian pillar boxes believed to still exist in the country. Other examples can be found in College Lawn, Douro Road, Evesham Road, Lansdown Road, Montpellier Walk, Pittville Circus Road, and St Paul's Road.
