In the market place at Whitehaven are these two statues, representing the sailors & maritime history of this town. Back in the 18th century Whitehaven was, after London, the second busiest port of England. This is by tonnage from 1750 to 1772, with export of coal - mainly to Ireland / Isle of Man - and trade with the American colonies.

Red "Pillar Box" in the Market Place at Whitehaven. The cast monogram is George VI who reigned between December 1936 and his death in February 1952. Note Also the cast "Post Office" who dealt with the Royal Mails until the idiotic partial privatisation in 2013, the government sold off the remaining 30% stake in 2015, which ended 499 years of public ownership.
