Edward V11 Lamp-post mounted letter box.1901-1910 SY12 25
Edward VII reigned for only 9 years but the postal network was still expanding and some very interesting boxes exist. The earliest Edwardian boxes were modified from the last Victorian designs, but midway through the reign the elaborate scroll cipher of Edward VII began to appear on post boxes. As the network grew, more boxes appeared in country areas such as this attractive lamp-post mounted example. This is on approach to the town of Ellesmere in Shropshire. Box Number SY12 25
