Retired Letterbox – Nice Work!

Back in June of 2003 I placed two letterboxes in woods near Tunbridge Wells. One was quickly removed. I hid it behind a wall and think the land owner probably removed it.
The other one, however, remained in place. This trip I checked on it, as you may have read in a post from a few weeks back. After 12 years it’s not in great shape. The stamp and pad are going and the pages have several forms of fungus and mold. I had planned to transplant it to America, but having watched The Strain, I’m worried that I may introduce some pathogen to the colonies.
In order to preserve all the stamps I collected from people that found it, in creating this album.
