Old post box - and stamp machine

Yes it is number. Near to the wonderful Honey Farm with it's museum of old farm machinery etc.

We have a Victorian one at the top of our hill. I will 'post' a photo tomorrow.

Tegan, is that the Chain Bridge?

We have a 1872 box in town, it's green, the original colour of post boxes

it's next to this...

Last post box in England before Scotland

There is an Edward lll post box at the post office in Bangor, Northern Ireland. It is one of only two in the UK.
