Fujifilm FinePix S3Pro with a Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED lens.

Ashton Street. Random Fact No.1: The 'ROYAL MAIL' legend first appeared on letter boxes in the early 1990s; prior to this letter boxes had the words 'POST OFFICE' cast onto them. The change was prompted by the separation of Post Office Counters Limited and Royal Mail as independent companies. Random Fact No.2: In the early days of letterboxes they were painted green so that they would not be obtrusive. That led to complaints from people who could not find them. Nikon D700 and Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI lens.

Before e-mail. Before mobile phones. Before those telephones with flex and dials. When children in primary schools were routinely given lessons in letter-writing, and then encouraged to put their new skills into practice by actually sending a letter which would be slotted into one of these as the first step in remote communication.
