Narrowboat Chalkhill Blue - Cruising Diary: VR Boxes

Our family collects post boxes from the Victorian era (1837 - 1901) and are building up a series of photographs of each box we find. Click on a street, village or town in red text to see individual boxes where we include information about the box and who spotted it. Some of the boxes are attributed to friends and other blog readers who have joined in the fun.

If you find a Victorian box that's not in this list, please take a picture of the box, a picture of the white collection plate on the front, and a picture of the surrounding area including the box. Would you also include the location of the box or the coordinates.
