I don't know what this post box has been up to over the years but at some point the door has been repaired. ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

Choose carefully where you post your letters - avoid the rubbish bin! ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

Royal Mail should have installed these first before chopping up perfectly fine pillar boxes. I doubt these will be around in 60+ years. At least we still have something to post our letters in. ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

Post box or letter box? Under the many coats of red paint that has been applied under the years you will see this is an Victorian letter box. ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday or should that be #letterboxsaturday?

How long will this little set up be around? It's a post office situated upstairs in a TG Jones complete with self service units, parcel and post boxes plus a counter with staff. Many towns will soon be without a post office. ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

Imagine just being able to pop out of your house to post a letter in the post box built into your wall. ๐Ÿ“ฎ#postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

A rarely seen 1pm and 11.15am collection time. This is on Holy Island so really the collection time is when the tide allows access to the island! ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

Post boxes in Berlin don't have much variety but there are two post delivery services. The yellow boxes are those of Deutsche Post and green pillar box is PIN Mail. ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

Of course I went on holiday to the home of the first postal museum in the world! Now known as The Museum for Communication Berlin, it originally opened in 1872. #postboxsaturday #BriefkastenSamstag #PostBoxDiary

Yes it went slightly darker but I was expecting to be plunged into darkness for a couple of minutes! The gulls flying above didn't like it though. #eclipse

I'm not saying it has been dry around these parts but even the weeds at the base of the pillar box have frazzled. ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

"POSTBOX OF THE FUTURE COMING SOON" - This pillar box has been wrapped up like this since last year! It only has an 8in aperture and all the solar boxes have been converted from 10in boxes. Has the door been lost or cut into by mistake? ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

The apertures for the dodgiest post box I have ever come across are still on the door of the old post office in Bath. The sign for the now defunct Bath Postal Museum also survives. ๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary

I rushed over in the hope I was going to see the inside of an original Penfold pillar box but the postie was just delivering rather than collecting.๐Ÿ“ฎ #postboxsaturday #PostBoxDiary
