[Talk-GB] Post Boxes no longer present

[SK53]

This is really a question for Robert, but I think it might be of more
general interest.

I surveyed a fair bit of the town centre of Stockport on Saturday morning &
have just been checking against Post Hoc
<http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/postboxes/progress/SK/SK1/> to see if I
missed any possible postboxes so that I could recheck my photos.

In doing so I came across a couple of post boxes outside Carphone
Warehouse/Halifax in Merseyway Shopping Centre which no longer exist (SK1
408  & SK1 409). They are visible in this Geograph image
<http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3923718> taken in April 2014. The area
has obviously been re-modelled since then: including a big hole cut out so
one can see the Mersey. Bollards & other street furniture have changed, and
in the approximate location of the post boxes there is now a K6 telephone
kiosk (the one visible in the geograph photo having gone).

I have no plans to add disappeared post boxes to OSM, so wanted to know is
there any other way to flag up that these have gone, so as to simplify
hunting down ones which are truly missing?
