This Is My Glasgow<p>Have you ever noticed a small knobbly bit on the top of a post box and wondered why it's there? Well, here's the answer: it once held a double-sided sign which pointed towards the nearest post office, like this one in Lennoxtown on the outskirks of Glasgow. Most of these sign-holders have been damaged over the years, leaving just the central attachment point, and very few retain their original signs.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/postbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postbox</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/pillarbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pillarbox</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ghostsign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ghostsign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/lennoxtown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lennoxtown</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Another of Glasgow's Edward VIII pillar boxes. This one is on Crown Terrace in the West End. Twenty six such boxes were installed in the city during the 326 days Edward VIII was on the throne, which one source claims was more than anywhere else, but I'm not convinced this is actually correct. As far as I can track down, six of these 26 remain in place today.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/pillarbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pillarbox</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/edwardviii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>edwardviii</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/edwardviiipillarbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>edwardviiipillarbox</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/crownterrace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crownterrace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/postbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postbox</span></a></p>
