taken 5 years ago, near to Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, England

Post Box, Oakland Road, Monkseaton
Post Box, Oakland Road, Monkseaton
This post box dates from the reign of Queen Victoria and stands at the end of Oakland Road. The keen-eyed will note that the box does not bear a royal cypher on the door nor do the words 'Post Office' appear anywhere on the box. It also has a high aperture. This type of box is known as an 'Anonymous' box and first appeared in 1879 and was produced until 1883. As the area on which the box is located was farmland until the early part of the 20th century, this box must have been relocated here at some subsequent date.
