It’s just an ordinary post box in a wall. I almost walked past it without a second glance.
It was my husband who stopped and pointed out the V R at the top of the box.
That little postbox has been in that wall since Queen Victoria was alive.
Me: What’s extraordinary is that the general design hasn’t changed for centuries.
Him: Well why would you change it if it doesn’t need changing?
Me: That’s quite a lot of pressure to get it right the first time…
Him: Aggie, it’s a post box.

Once you know the ‘code’ on the post boxes, you’ll find that everywhere you go you check them out. EIIR is probably the most common these days but I saw a very rare EVIII down near Broadstairs in Kent. And I’m living in an EVII area – these are also quite rare.
