Replica Victorian post box on Cathedral Green, Durham Cathedral,County Durham - Victorian Post Boxes on Waymarking.com

This is not actually a Victorian box. It is a replica, which I understand was installed some time in the late '80's. There is a photo of when it was 'unveiled' to the public in the Royal Mail Delivery office on Belmont Industrial Estate in Durham as evidence of this point. Also if you check the overall condition inside and out of this Penfold box you can see it is not as old as it claims to be.
Thanks to another waymarker "edgeuk" who gave me this information..
