The Penfold Postbox is an icon of our streets - so much so that replicas were made from the 1980s right through to the 2010s and put on our streets. This attractive green example bears a plaque commemorating its 2016 unveiling 10 years ago. #PostboxSaturday

This Scottish post box used to show people where to post their parcels. Now, that can be done at the box itself. Postal habits are always changing, and solar boxes are the latest adaptation. #letterboxstudygroup

What's that on top of this Edward VII post box in London? A Post Office direction sign, often abbreviated to PODS, was once a common sight on our streets. Now, only a small number (like this one) survive. Have you seen one on a street near you? #postboxsaturday
