Note: Red letter Box outside King's Collage Gate house Cambridge.

A Hexagonal Penfold box dating from the C19, and is listed grade 11.

A short introduction to listing.

1.1 This guide sets out what "Listing" means and how it may affect owners and occupiers.
1.2 The list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest is just that - it is a register recording the best of British buildings. It comprises a wide variety of structures, from castles and cathedrals down to mileposts and village pumps. Not all the items on it are what we might naturally think of as beautiful - some are included purely for their historical value. But the list adds up to a heritage register and it covers the entire country.

Thanks
Gil

This is a most unusual letterbox indeed! Great capture. Pity about the bicycles, I want to see this one shining on its own :)

A very nice letter box indeed. Fine capture with good colour and typical "British" light - less bothersome for photography than our bright sunshine:-)

Hi Gil
Nostalgic letter box. Nice presentation with good composition
regards

Excellent tones in the image Gil. Well composed and good focus. The heritage listings are in force down here too but a little prohibitive if someone wants to restore a building or even lop a tree. TFS,
David

Hi gil, this is very nice. Good street image of those renowned letter boxes and the bicycles.
Very London like.
It's nice to see the stone walls in the bg and wet from the last shower.

Take care, Yan :)
