Old post office now the River Cafe next to bridge. Wall out front, roadside of the postbox, seems to have been razed to ground level. No sign of FB anyway.

Current PO (which has recently closed down) has no sign of this FB in its vicinity, but FB 11631 is almost opposite, on battlement of bridge over River Wye.
