@letterappsoc.bsky.socialIt’s #PostboxSaturday with bells on! Thank you so much to the lovely dancer from Wickham Morris for being in a postbox photo! You really could be back in Ye Olde England with all the teams of Morris Dancers about town for the fab Folk Festival this weekend! 😁📮🔔❤️
@rogerhorton.bsky.socialSurprised to find a no cypher pillarbox on Risbygate Street #BuryStEdmunds today. #PostboxSaturday

@spudgun67.bsky.socialThere are examples of these boxes in museums including at least two at the Post Office museum stores in Debden. Beside this grey green one is a large capacity 'Liverpool Special', created for the Liverpool postmaster who did not care for the new standard type. Only seven were made. #PostBoxSaturday
@spudgun67.bsky.socialThe 'First National Standards' were made in two sizes - a larger, wider size for higher volume areas and a smaller narrower version for elsewhere. The only other one of this type still in service appears to be inside the Riverside Museum in Glasgow. #PostBoxSaturday
@spudgun67.bsky.socialNotable features of the First National Standard are the chunky aperture, the embellished hexagonal cap and the absence of any 'Post Office' casting or royal cypher on the pillar. They were not universally popular and were superseded by the much loved 'Penfold' design in 1866. #PostBoxSaturday
@spudgun67.bsky.socialOn the corner of Montpelier Road in Brighton stands this First National Standard pillar box. These were introduced in 1859, superseding a multitude of local designs. This one is believed to have been installed in December 1859 and may be one of only two of this type still in use. #PostBoxSaturday

@cfscotty.bsky.socialHappy #PostboxSaturday. ☺️
This weeks contribution comes from Mum's recent trip to #Scotland. I'm a little envious as I do adore bonnie Scotland. 🏴 I received the postcard too!
