There is a Penfold (1866) post box in Haslemere High St. J W Penfold lived in Haslemere and his house is called Penfolds (possibly remnamed)

Here's another green post box, but a private one this time, built into the wall of a house near Lenham, in Kent.

Only noticed this George V post box for first time today, cycled by it dozens of times and never stopped to look. At Bulmer SW of Castle Howard.

No photo but visited an Edward VII in Bishop Auckland this weekend. Less than 200 were produced apparently.

Coincidentally, I also saw an Edward VII today. Mine was in Monmouthshire. But it doesn't count because I was on foot!

A couple of boxes from a route west of Harrogate last month. George V in Markington near Ripon and an Edward VII in Clint west of Ripley.

Always good to see guerrilla knitting. Or to see a gorilla knitting (orangutans are more into crochet).
That's Geo V. You can tell by the relatively plain logo and lack of number.
