  Kate, as the day progresses I predict you will get tired of blue mailboxes in the US.

  Chris good choice on a difficult theme.

  Actually, its an 1866 box in better repair than the one I’ve posted. Possibly restored and put in China Town for the reason you suggest?

  Chris, this box is the “full montey” to Ham’s shortened version in another location. It doesn’t look Chinese except for the red color, to me. Beautiful shot!

  That’s a classic Victorian octagonal box - one of the oldest in the UK. There’s one in Bournemouth, and one in Sydney’s Chinatown too. Victorians were very influenced by Orientalism - maybe that’s why they chose to make them look a bit pagoda like?

  I should say “pillar box”, not mail box, of course!

  oops! Not octagonal. It’s a Penfold HEXAGONAL.
