I was approached by a film company because they wanted to use my Delica while shooting a short film set in the near future.

 

They asked me to make it look as 'Post Apocalyptic' as possible. I did my best!

 

Fliming took place in South London on an abandoned/dereclict housing estate. A massive place with 2000+ apartments all empty. Quite eery!

 

I took these shots just after filming had finished and the crew had gone home. It made for a nice setting.

A Coal Tax post, No. 217, type 1 granite block. Seen on the Thames bank to the West of Dartford Creek at Crayford Ness. This is the most Easterly post.

 

These were set up around London in the 1860s to collect duties on coal. The tax was payable to the City of London whose influence reached far beyond the square mile. The boundary was the Metropolitan Police area, and is very close to the Greater London boundary today.

Walking around Hampstead i noticed this old wall post box there are still a few left in London that are still being used in this age of high technology. This one is probably from the Victiorian era so they are still in competition with the internet email I wonder when their day is up I can't see this model on the following link so I only guess it is Victorian. www.norvic-philatelics.co.uk/2009/images/090818_postbox_s...

 

I have since come back to this description and I have now noticed that at the top of this post box there is a V space R that must stand for victoria regina.

Very old post box in Sheffield. Can anyone explain its origins at all. How old? Is it rare? etc etc

In the mid 1970s, or so, I “rescued” a small number of old newspapers; alas they started disintegrating so I dare not try to make more copies of interesting adverts or articles
