Raphael post boxes

Saturday, 14th September 2024

After going to Oxford, I can report that I loved it. From the amazing university to the markets and even to the postboxes, it was incredible. There were 5 postboxes on my map in Oxford, 1 was a really common one which we were not going to do a 20 minute detour for. 2 of them was successful and the final 2 where supposed to be Ludlow but upon arriving. THEY LIED. I spent 30 minutes of my time to see normal, already-found postboxes. As angry as this makes me (I really wanted to see a victorian ludlow ☹️) ,the other 2 successful postboxes did not disappoint. Look at this beauty on the right; The wooden post box is situated outside St Aldate's Post Office, which was built in 1878-80. It's actually a triple post box, with three separate slots for mail.
If that is what you want, then that is what we will get!
I would have be interested in seeing the Ludlow style wall box too. Maybe next time
