About these posts.

 

Neville Balgue came to Wynnum in 1922 to work on the recently installed electricity service. He converted a 25’ sailing boat to a bay boat and called her “Lizzie”. He applied to the then Town Council of Wynnum to build a slip for her at the bottom of Havelock (Penfold) Parade. The boat and the slip passed to his son-in-law and the hardwood posts stand today a useful perch for the pelicans and the seabirds. Note the holes in the posts. The boat to be serviced is floated between the posts on high tide and the bearers adjusted beneath. When the tide ebbs, the barnacles can be scraped off the bottom of the boat in readiness for painting.

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

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.

Playing with HDR.

 

Contructive critisism would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Apparently someone thought this post's fingers looked cold.

This post stands forlorn, waiting for its services to be needed to proclaim some message as yet unimagined.

Personally I never liked the look of drilled posts, and examples from the day are some of the worst butcher jobs of the genre. But I wanted to please the customer who requested this. And I wanted to see if one with a careful layout would look good.
