It’s no secret that Gibraltar is proud of being British but nothing quite gives the Britishness feel on the Rock than our BRIGHT RED double decker buses our BRIGHT RED telephone boxes and our BRIGHT RED letterboxes. As soon as you enter Gibraltar this becomes apparent as the first thing you come across is a very British Bright Red Telephone box. Very near the Airport which is a stone throws away from the Border (which by the way is my personal favourite) a beautiful British Bright Red Post Box.

After coming across a recent publication on our Letterboxes by The Royal Gibraltar Post office, I have learnt loads of interesting facts about our Letter boxes and their links with British history. A leaflet full of information can be picked up at the Main Post office situated in Main Street. you can’t miss it as by the main entrance you will find a double Post Box which along with the casemates double Telephone box must be the most photographed by tourist visiting the rock.

Gibraltar boasts of an example of a letter box from each British Monarch since they were first introduced in 1852 during the reign of Queen Victoria.

Visitors to the Rock can enjoy a walk down Gibraltar’s Main Street and see these historic letter boxes.

Letter box Edward VII is located at Casemates, Edward VII was Queens Victoria’s son. Great Grandfather to Queen Elizabeth.

Letter Box Elizabeth II is located by the entrance to the Main Post office, this is a double aperture post box.

Letter box Edward VIII is located near John Mackingtosh Square near the Gibraltar Heritage Trust. He was Queen Elizabeth’s Uncle.
