There's one at the corner of Canning St / Bedford St South too. So not actually the one I was thinking of - maybe they're not so rare after all.Originally Posted by marky

I took the odd pillar box photo over the years but don,t know where they all are at the mo. I know there is a victorian hole in the wall one on the corner of Kremlin Drive, Queens Drive end

Thanks Tony, you,re quicker doing it that way than me finding it in this b***** mess of a room.
I will go round there over the weekend, im off work then
Have a look at page 1 of this thread, post no.7 - there is a hole in the wall one on Lower Breck rd.
Chippie you know that one don't you ?
Goodness me I do know that one. Brings back some memories does Lower Breck Rd. used to pick the caterpillars off the trees down there when I was in short kecks.
Alas no more
Some delightful souls decided Liverpool could do without this rare pillar box in Wavertree. One firework banger inside shattered it a few years ago.
Has anyone noticed that there are a few pillar boxes around that are missing their Royal initials. I wonder what the reason is for them being 'blank'.
I've got a pic of the Kremlin Drive wall-box on another PC (I'll post it later). I noticed it a couple of months ago when a nearby Petrol Station? had just been demolished (Stoneycroft Crescent)

Now you come to mention it - yes, I've noticed lots of the pillar boxes are now blank.
What's worse, picturing poor Gnomie walking the streets or imagining Chippie 18 months ago in short kecks.
yeah, but have you noticed the latest fashion for postmen wearing shorts?
It started just a few years back - and now they are wearing them all the time
I saw a postie last week still wearing them even though the summer has ended.
they'll have to give in now tho' the cold mornings are here
Gnomie, are you a fan of this attire ?
Yes they look like boy scouts or village posties some of em.
Their shorts are so short you can almost see their male bags.
ha,ha.
I saw a guy the other day (not a postman) - he was wearing those knee length pants - grey ones - with black socks pulled half way up the calf and trainers !! Gawd blimey ! what did he look like !!
Given that there is a postal strike at the mo isn't it time to privatise the Post Office
