Several residents have contacted Llew about the closure of the Victorian Pillar Box in the Market Square. This box is an attractive part of the street scene and its removal would be yet another attack on Winslow’s heritage.

Llew has been in touch with Royal Mail and they have agreed that no immediate steps will be taken to remove the box. They say that over the years changes to the footway around the box have caused movement to the extent that the door cannot be properly opened. The hinges are also damaged and they claim that replacement parts cannot be procured. Llew has given Royal Mail details of a local artisan who specialises in the restoration of period metalworkRoyal Mail will now be having further discussions with their technical staff and will also consult with English Heritage about a course of action. Llew will seek the support of the Development Committee of Winslow Town Council to add further weight to his campaign to save the post box. Updates on this issue will be posted on this site.
