Post Boxes

Post Boxes, letter boxes, call them what you will, are a familiar sight. They're everywhere - pillar boxes on street corners, wall boxes set in walls, lamp boxes on posts, although not many are actually attached to lamp posts these days despite their name, and other types installed at garages, in shops and in Post Offices.

These pages will be developed into a gallery of the many types of letter box to be found around the British Isles. In the meantime, you could do worse than visit the Letter Box Study Group to find out what all the fuss is about.

Oh, yes, I nearly forgot - there is a gallery of Manx boxes here.

(The boxes in the header picture show an unusual type of George VI lamp box, in Ballasalla on the Isle of Man, flanked by a George V wall box and an anonymous (so called because it has no Royal cypher on it) pillar box from the late 1870s, both in Worthing, West Sussex.)
