What a wonderful find, particularly as it's so well preserved. Young Sophie may have been unimpressed, but I'm sure she will appreciate this when she's older.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

I think she would understand it more now George...although she would still probably give me a funny look ;-))

A lovely image. Sophie and the postbox. Both are so appealing and colourful. We have a Victorian postbox in Falkland but it's a fake. I don't know what the Post Office was thinking of. Put there to impress the tourists I think but people in the village were furious. It's totally the wrong period. The old buildings in the village are 17th century.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Jean

Thank you Jean. The fake ones are the worse! Tourists may not know the difference between the 17th and 19th centuries, but the locals sure do!!

Keith Burton ^club

Such a charming postbox..............I like the shape and the gold embellishments!

Sophie seems to be wondering why you brought her here..........I mean, it doesn't even have a screen or keyboard..!!

3 years ago.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thank you Keith. I thought Sophie would give good scale to the box.
She certainly did wonder! I think now she would lean on my shoulder and say....really nan!!
Ha ha, a sceen would have made all the difference!!

A delightful image my friend and a nice memory!

A lovely portrait as you say not impressed !! I would think it's a listed monument , it's surprising how many VR boxes are around but not that design. It would have been good for HFF

Hi Rosa. Not seen this from you before. A great shot of young Sophie too. The letter box looks as if it is sealed to me but... Well worth sharing. Thanks a lot.

Cheers. Herb

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Herb Riddle ^club

If I remember rightly, it was still in use and the letterbox flap opened to post a letter.
Very pleased you like it, and young Sophie is now 14, but just as gorgeous ;-)
Cheers, Rosa.
