What is this black box on the seat tube?

[I like Skol]

Did you also end-up hacking the bracket of as well?

No, but I greased the bolts when fitting.

Brown bike behind looks like a Raleigh Esquire.....

Funny I immediately noticed the Raleigh 3-speed in the background as well! They must have got a job lot of Brown paint from British Leyland, because they used to make cars in those colours.
What's the one nearest the camera though? Seat stays remind me of Dawes.

I think it says "Executive" on the top tube? Is it another Raleigh?
