At the end of a long day walking on the SW Coastal path I glimpsed a flash of red on the road into Worth Matravers. Close up I discovered this wall box was part of the Old Post Office, now a holiday let. #PostboxSaturday #Dorset @MadelaineCSmith @letterappsoc

"A postbox for accusations" says Peter Ackroyd. I was delighted to find a bocche di leone on a recent trip to #Venice. According to Jan Morris this one was for "grumbles about the neighbours' sanitary habits". A twist for #PostboxSaturday @MadelaineCSmith @letterappsoc

A tale of 2 post offices. Outside the King Edward Building, London's old main sorting office, with a statue of Rowland Hill and looking across the street to what was the General Post Office. @MadelaineCSmith @letterappsoc #PostboxSaturday #London #RowlandHill #theold

This was a surprise as I was following the yellow line through the Barbican. Not one but two wallboxes side by side. #PostboxSaturday #London @MadelaineCSmith @letterappsoc
