Wall box - Definition

Wall boxes are a type of post box or letter box found in the UK and commonwealth countries. They differ from pillar boxes in that, instead of being a free-standing structure, they are generally set into a wall (hence the name) or supported on a lamp-post or other stable structure. (Note: a few wall boxes are, confusingly, free-standing, such as that outside Gloddaeth Post Office, Llandudno.)
