Guangzhou : CHINA:

This is a lovely Postbox card ..I love these but never seem to get one ..This is from a good mate in The Post Card Club.. and has kindly sent me this card from her visit to Dalian City.A lovely green old Pillar Post box.. Thank you so much Wency I love this card Xie Xie.
Posted Dalian 03 October : Arrived Sydney : 08 November : Traveled 36 days..

 These Pillar PostBoxes are scattered around Dalian and are born with the city.They have exquisite details and have survived the city's vicissitudes through the last century while many things have been carried away by the winds. Silently standing alongside a street, or around the corner of a building ,like a miniature Baroque architecture  Painted in the same green as the trains The Post Boxes gather love and nostalgia and send it to far away..

A lovely card showing the many and various styles of Pillar Post boxes that have been in use and many are still today across The British Isles and the Commonwealth of countries..I enjoy these when I see them in various parts of Australia and always photograph them as each different design is from a different period in time..I have some that I will add to this post...more when I find them..

In the British Isles, the first pillar post boxes were installed in 1852. Between 1866 and1879 the hexagonal "Penfold" Post box became the standard design for pillar boxes and also during that period the colour red was first adapted as the standard colour to be used.
Thank you Tony for this postcard request.. I really like it as I collect postboxes also.
