post box

an old green Irish Post (An Post) post box.  I don't think this box is in use considering the post office is about one mile from here and this one could use a clean-up and some fresh paint.

  2. Regardless of the condition of the Postbox, the mail must go through.

  3. Seems quaint, doesn't it? Would be great to preserve it as part of history.

  5. How can you send an e-mail through a letter box? There's no USB connection.

    God bless.

  7. They are blue here and at the library patrons get confused and put letters in the the book drop and books in the post office box (the book drop is on the driver's side and the postal box you have to get out to mail a letter. Although, the book drop is bigger and brown. We now have the shiny metal voting box too, but they are pretty much shut tight until election time.

  9. We still seem to be well-supplied with Post boxes - there are at least 4 or 5 within a mile of my house - even though letters are a thing of the past for many people. Maybe I ought to go out and photograph all our boxes before they disappear forever - I certainly won't find any green ones!

  10. I wonder if there are any years old letters inside waiting to be picked up.

  14. There are many such mailboxes in Cyprus that have survived from the British. They look a lot like this. Unused but no one removed it :)

    Good evening, Bill.

  18. Who knows? Perhaps letters are collected here regularly, or maybe not. Fine, old post box from an earlier era.

  19. That's really unique looking! I've never seen one like that before.

  23. Well, yes, a cleaning hand would not hurt, it is beautiful and a memory of another time, it should be preserved
    Happy week.

  24. Love it. Sadly we don't see many old letterboxes much, think I've seen 2 in the last 20 years or so.

  27. Imagens que nos remetem para o tempo em que as pessoas escreviam cartas... agora tudo está à distância de um mail a partir do telefone ou do computador...
    Gostei imenso de ver! Aqui na vila também temos um... pintado de vermelho!
    Abraço
