Replica Victorian pillar box outside the Old Town Hall
-
Description
"The first roadside pillar box in mainland Britain was erected in 1853 at Botchergate [[812802]]. The early boxes did not have a standard design, and we have not yet found an illustration of the original one in Carlisle. The box in this photo is a copy of the Penfold design, produced between 1866-79. It is one of many replica Penfolds produced in 1989, to be placed in historic and tourist locations http://postalheritage.org.uk/history/downloads/BPMA%20Royal%20Mail%20Archive%20Info%20Sheet%20Pillar%20Boxes%20UPDATED%20March%202009.pdf/at_download/file . For details of inscription, see [[812820]]." Photo by Rose and Trev Clough, 2008. -
