The first, opposite the telephone box (in the distance on the right), was kept by Ella Kemp, the second was in the house with the posting box (centre).
Today, the property is called The Old Stone House, and all that remains of its Royal Mail connections are a pillar box set in a wall and a telephone box.
In front of the Reading Room is a red telephone box. To the left of the telephone box is the Royal Ordnance depot that issued clothing and equipment to Army personnel.
There is the more familiar red telephone box on the traffic island, a modern post box, and Belisha beacons to aid pedestrians wishing to cross the road.
The fine avenue of box trees was removed - box wood was in great demand by the Luton hat makers for use as blocking moulds - and houses and shops were built.
The quay side is piled high with fish boxes.
The popularity of Box Hill, once called the White Hill from its chalk bluff and affording a splendid view across the Weald from its summit of just over 600ft, reached an apogee during the late Victorian
