RELIC FROM THE PAST

I noticed this letter box which is still in use while we were talking to my sister-in-law before going into church for Saturday evening mass . She had been dropped off at the church parvis while my brother went to find a parking for his car. The letterbox was on the opposite side of the road and partially out of view because of parked vehicles. I immediately crossed over to take a shot of it (as if it was to be removed within a day or two). The GR makes me think it goes back to King George – which one I cannot tell - when Malta was a British colony.
I showed Max your comments on the last two days' pictures and he was very pleased to read them. He said thank you all for your kind comments and for the fav's. Tomorrow he starts school 'on line' and it's going to be a full day's job for him. He will do that at my house and on my computer as his parents will be at work. I will have to do with my tablet while he is 'at' school. An inconvenience for me but I will manage somehow.

It does remind me of a good book I had called, "The Round House' and it was a letter box. That's 60 years ago!

[Wylie]

that's a beauty to find.

[Ingrid]

Well spotted! It looks very British to me, but that is in line with Malta being a British colony.
Good luck to Max (and you) - My kids are having school online too...

[Mags]

We used to have a lot more of those, so it used to be easier to find one. I like real mail. Miss it. Lovely shot! I think I'm an old relic too.

Common place here in the U.K. might spend a week capturing some of the more interesting ones in the area.

Sad that this old reminder if the British rule Is being removed...mind you Malta might not want to be reminded but I always like the red post boxes just for themselves.
Good luck to Max in his studies..a sad way to do school work without friends around...hope it doesn't last long for all of us!
