Double Box

This double post box used to separate first and second class post, now it is stamped or franked mail. The tower behind is Bootham Bar Postern Tower.

Two old boxes

I saw an increasingly unusual sight the other day, a phone box and a letter box sited near each other. Many of the coin operated phone boxes have been removed as 'everyone' has a mobile, and 'no one' writes letters any more. When was the last time you used a public phone box either in the UK or elsewhere in the world?

Christmas Mail

The VR cypher on this post box in the centre of York indicates it was put into use when Queen Victoria (1837-1901) was on the throne. That means it is well over 100 years old, and it is rather looking it's age these days. I wonder how many Christmas cards have been posted in here over the years?
