Do you have a digital image of a particularly interesting letter box? Why not upload your image here and tell us more about it. Currently the BPMA are interested in images of the Victorian Penfold pillar box or the even more rare blue airmail boxes. If you have images you wish to share please use this site to share them with us. Any box is of interest to us however so do please tell us about that which interests or intrigues you.
Is there a letter box near you that you would like to know more about? Maybe someone else out there can help you with your query.
