NY4055 : An unusual VR letter box, Lismore Street
taken 8 years ago, near to Carlisle, Cumbria, England
An unusual VR letter box, Lismore Street
For location and some historical background, see NY4055 : Victorian 'Ludlow' style letter box, Lismore Street .
Set in the wall of a former sub-post office. A Ludlow style box, made by the Eagle Range & Foundry Co (probably in the 1880s). For comparison with similar letter box types, there is an excellent gallery at Colne Valley Postal History Museum Link
. See also ST7036 : Green postbox, Colinshay Manor .
At the bottom of the enamel plaque it says 'NOTICE. Letters which contain COIN if posted as ordinary letters will be charged on delivery with a special registration fee of eightpence'. It probably didn't occur to them to allow for inflation.
Postbox number : CA1 72D.
