Pillar Boxes

I have started to tidy up the many pictures that I have taken digitally over the last 10 years and one of the first folders to be set up is titled Post Office. This includes telephone boxes, documents from trips to the archive and many, many bright red (also green and blue) pillar boxes! These fabulous items of street furniture have stood on many street corners, High Streets and country lanes for over 100 years some 150 years!

Here are a few from last year and there are a few cheats  - ones taken at the British Postal Museum Archive Store, Debden. I've also been on the trail of the elusive Edward VIII post boxes around the London area and have included a few here. Despite the many letters that are sent electronically now it is always lovely to receive something 'in the post', unless it's a bill that is!
