Happy #PostboxSaturday from this George V pillar box opposite former public house The Grange in Thornton Heath. 💌

Happy #PostboxSaturday - commissioned in the last hour, this could be the newest solar-powered postboxe box.

When libraries used to look like this....

@letterappsoc @RoyalMail 😢

The ruins of Corfe Castle must’ve felt like an act of vandalism back in 1646, so perhaps it’s fitting to have a vandalised postbox in one of the most picturesque villages in the UK. Zero scruples @RoyalMail. The Post Office is literally 10 metres away. #PostboxSaturday ☹️📮👎💔
