Rural Royal Mail

In the UK, you know you’re deep in the countryside when you come across a Royal Mail post box nestling in a dry stone wall like this.

 

This box is from the reign of King George V (1910-36) and I spotted it, with much pleasure, in the hamlet of Treen, not far from St Ives in Cornwall.

 

Lovely, isn't it? And by the way, for Royal Mail aficionados the post box number is TR26 40.
