This box has been repainted since this photo was taken, it is now plain red. The gold will have been added by a local enthusiast who, it seems, is no longer active.

Penfold replica on the Isle of Iona, Scotland
 Near by was this sign, pointing to the post office. These used to be very common, often sited on top of post boxes to guide people to where they could buy stamps, but few have survived.

Eight of the twelve have a vertical aperture - the three in Malvern and the one Howard and I visited on the way to the Birmingham DM are the only four with the later, horizontal slot. |

Twelve of these early Victorian pillar boxes survive in use, of which three are in Malvern. We happened to pass one of these on a family visit this week.
 More info on the design here. |

 Where's the Welsh? | A7 III and FE 16-35 F4 A double box plastered with stickers asking, 'Ble mae'r Gymraeg' or 'Where's the Welsh?', though as far as I could see the posting times etc. were in both languages. |
