I have always used post_box:type=wall for these, since the post box is literally embedded in something else. Even if in these cases the 'wall' is rather short. > * Old hexagonal Penfold postboxes come in different types > (according to > wikipedia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillar_box#Penfolds>), but there > are also nearly as many 1990s replicas as the real thing.

I think I have used note=hexagonal_pillar or similar for the few I have come across. I agree a post_box:design=X is better for the more interesting post boxes - specially when you know what type they are! <learns about Penfold> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
