Edward VIII Pillar Box, Glasgow

Edward VIII Pillar Box, Glasgow
Original examples are rare as Edward VIII only reigned for less than a year, from 20 January 1936 to 11 December 1936. After his abdication, most boxes bearing his cypher were modified or replaced. Quoted from Wikimedia.

An obvious treasure to those who know but mistreated daily going by the road sign propped against it.
A fine shot though.

natureoncam AKA Greg, thanks for your kind comment. It was a Scottish Gas Networks sign that was propped up against the pillar box. Cheers, Joe
