According to Look North tonight there are a few Edward the Abdicator post boxes in Bridlington.
For collectors these must be the Penny Black of slots. Any spotted?

Edward VIII post boxes.
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Maybe the post office sold it off?

Ta, both.
The P.O. must have been quick off the mark. Were they secretly preparing under the previous monarch, one wonders?
