Where in St Ives Cornwall is this ? Click to enlarge.
After the relative failure of my last competition - only two entries from all my hundreds of loyal readers - I've decided to give it another go.
Is this St Ives most obscure postbox - where is it ?

There are lots of obscure post boxes in St. Ives, I can think of at least three and I don't think that this one is any of the ones I'm thinking of! Am I allowed three guesses?
ReplyDeleteMy first guess is on the granite wall along by The Porthminster Hotel
Hi Carolyn - yes you can have three guesses !
ReplyDeleteHi Steve,
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was at the end of Skidden Hill near the old Courthouse, but I think that one is freestanding?
So I think it is in the granite wall underneath The Gallery on the Square in Island Square.

And if I too am allowed another guess, then maybe in Love Lane? I have no idea if there is a letter box there, but it's an obscure enough place!

I think it is Barnoon Hill. Just near the car park. Chy Sunny
ReplyDeleteMy first guess (without going out to check) is Tregenna Terrace right on the corner where the steps go down to Fernlea Terrace? The post van stops beside it and leans out the window to empty it - it's a really dangerous corner for a postbox!

How about the corner of Mount Pleasant leeading down to Ayr lane. Carol.
ReplyDeleteIt is set into the wall at the top of Tregenna Hill outside the Porthminster Hotel, or thereabouts
ReplyDeleteActulaly I'm not sure that Tregenna Hill is correct, it is probably the top of the Terrace. But it is definitely near the Porthminster
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that no one has got it right yet?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Carol - a worthy winner!
