The postbox on Briggate [or is it Lower Briggate?], Leeds.
Ideally situated if you want to post something on the way to the Viaduct Showbar, which can be seen in the background 🍹🌈 #postboxsaturday

We're celebrating the #PlatinumJubilee by sharing pictures of the oldest Elizabeth II #postboxes - this is the first ever installed, at Whitehall, 6 November 1952. It is a Type A made by McDowell, Steven & Co. Note the small aperture, a design feature changed in 1957 - SW1 200

One for #PostboxSaturday. This one's in the Pantiles at Tunbridge Wells. Very convenient too ... right outside 'The Ragged Trousers', a pub and a half ...

[Matthew Boyington @mgboyington]

@MovieEndorser I'd be up for that.

[Matthew Boyington @mgboyington]

@CinemaTweets1 Ooo... Very difficult.
Err... Blade Runner (1982) 🎬🎥

@JamesJordan2022 @_AngelaLansbury @agathachristie @DameRutherford @JoanHicksonFans Agreed; they all bring something to the role and I've enjoyed watching all of them at one time or another 📺👀
...but one of my major interests is post-war British cinema, so I'm definitely team Dame Margaret Rutherford 🇬🇧⭐
