A nice example of a preserved colonial era pillar box in Glenelg. The box is outside the library, not far from where the tram line ends in Moseley Square.

while obviously well loved by the local dogs it is a fluted design very similar to the British mid 1850’s PB1 design but with a horizontal letter slot like later British fluted boxes rather than the vertical one seen in earlier examples.

There is no obvious iron founders mark on the box so I can’t tell if it is a locally made copy of an English design, or if it was shipped all the way from the UK …
