There’s a rare sight in Manchester, just off the hustle and bustle of Deansgate, which thousands of Mancunians stroll past every day without batting an eyelid.
The rare sight itself is hardly jaw-dropping: It’s a pillar box, like you see all across the land. But this post box is painted a striking shade of sky blue.
And, despite several similar boxes appearing in the last few years, there is only one other pillar box like the Liverpool Road one still on the streets of the UK. The other is directly outside Windsor Castle.
