Special & Beautiful Post Boxes


This postcard was sent by John (the UK) last December. It was posted in a musical Christmas post box in Line Street Station, Liverpool. You can read more about this mail adventure and see the festive post box on John's blog.

On the back, some matching stamps (attacked by the dreadful postal blue pen!!),




South Africa's older letter box still in use is in Worcester Street, Grahamstown, Eastern Cape. The box was erected in about 1856 and is fluted in design, with a horizontal letter slot with a flap. The box is traditional Post Office red.
Postcard sent by Dave (South Africa).

  1. Those are quite the epaulets on that French postman. Great selection of cards.

      And, besides that, I wonder why he is posting letters instead to deliver them!
