Another of Glasgow's Edward VIII pillar boxes. This one is on Crown Terrace in the West End. Twenty six such boxes were installed in the city during the 326 days Edward VIII was on the throne, which one source claims was more than anywhere else, but I'm not convinced this is actually correct. As far as I can track down, six of these 26 remain in place today.

@thisismyglasgow @RaySF Very cool. The only Edward VIII relic I've seen here in Melbourne is this plaque in Moonee Ponds: https://monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/government/imperial/display/32680-accession-of-king-edward-viii

@geomannie That one is not on my list of the 6 remaining in Glasgow, so I guess there are at least 7! Thanks for that! 👍🙂

@thisismyglasgow It seems that new pillar boxes will have C3PO on them.

@llafgorf 🤣🤣🤣. Very good. I haven't heard that one before. I thought they were just going to go for CIII Royal Male!
