Postcard Friendship Friday

This old postbox is near Deansgrange. It has definitely seen better days! Overtaken by email perhaps?

I love the one with the woman running past - what a great candid shot.; 12 June 2009 at 15:04

Robin said...: One has to wonder why it is encased in cement. Do you think there might have been a problem with post box thievery? You must admit it would make a great conversational piece in ones garden. ;-)

Have a beautiful weekend.; 13 June 2009 at 03:23
Blogaire said...: Hi Robin, I think it was originally a post box encased in a large wall, but that most of the wall was demolished to make way for a new housing estate.
I came across other similar boxes (Shh...I am saving one for another PFF).; 13 June 2009 at 04:42
