Time’s definitely running out:
But the post office has been stolen and the mailbox is locked.
The age of elegant modernist street furniture, has been and almost gone, the previous centuries are under threat.
But does anyone want this neglected postal self-service technology?
Stamp dispensing is being dispensed with, insert 5p and wait forever.
We have our own disabused facility in Stockport, I pass it almost every day.
And have posted two previous postal posts – here and there.
This new discovery, with thanks to Sean Madner, is situated on the wall of the sorting office in Chesterfield. A faded Festival of Britain charm along with a delightful terrazzo surround, has done little to arrest its slow decline into redundancy and subsequent neglect.
Still in situ, take a walk, take a look – wait for the coin to drop.

Oh it’s so beautiful. I pass the Stockport one on the way home from my sisters and I often stop and take pictures of it. I actually would like it in my house.

I’ve observed the ever so slow decline of the Stockport one and yes I’d look after it too Emma! This Chesterfield version is just as sweet and lovable.

The one and only place to post your letters when you’d missed the collection from the red post boxes! I’ve always liked it, and walked past it every day, even bought stamps from it when I was a kid. Sad to see it go. What Health and Safety Concerns could have forced it out of commission I wonder?
