<p>leigh  gets a golden post box. word in the journal (local paper) is it should be in tyldesley (as that's where Heather Frederiksen is from ) but they decided that this was a much better postbox to paint. Heather is a paralympic swimmer who won the 100m backstroke again this year. good work royal mail peeps.

i believe that there is another in bolton close to the old cinema, maybe gold postbox spotting will become the next big thing?
