There is something that attracts me to photographing post boxes. It’s not hard to figure out – it’s the vivid red that does it. I photograph them in black and white sometimes too, but colour really works best.
This one dates back to the reign of King George, so would have been erected sometime between 1936 and 1952, when he died and new boxes tok on the ER markings denoting Queen Elizabeth II.
It also has a sticker on it advertising a march and rally seeking justice for the events that took place at the Battle of Orgreave during the miner’s strike in June 1984.

I like red, too, especially post boxes!

I don’t photograph every one I see, but they definitely have a “pull” for me.
