There's not many of these around
So very few to the pound
This one was well hid
Located in Brid
That's that's where this one I found.
He reigned, my history book says
325 days
He chucked everything
For George to be king
Who agreed the pillar box stays.
So here it is as you see
A symbol of red history
Preserved in good faith
For Edward VIII
And nerds, geeks and numpties like me.
Nice sideways look, John. Didn't expect that when I saw the title.
The shadow is scary, though.
There is one in my town but I won't say where it is as I don't want Northerners coming down to gawp at it!
lol
Quite right, Uilleam. There are many VR letter boxes (many more than EVIII).
Well spotted, John.
If my memory serves me correctly, I seem to remember a Victorian post box set into a wall in Salford. That would be 25-30 years ago. I suspect the property's long since demolished, and it's someone's antique.
Not me, Graham. That was The Grim Reaper.
And thanks for the Likes, RedBrick, Tom and Holden.
Casting a very long shadow these days JC. Hope you're keeping well.

Thankyou Ghost and Stephen. There’s another one in Scarborough, funnily enough.
What puzzles me is that the shadow of the postbox shows an aerial on it? Possible alien encounter?
