On Friday 12th July, The Lord-Lieutenant unveiled the first King Charles III postbox in Great Cambourne High Street with children from Vine Inter-Church Primary School. The children then posted the first letters in the box, using special stamps that celebrated His Majesty’s Coronation.
The gold cipher is unique to this box and marks it as the first of it’s kind. Cambridgeshire is lucky to have this historical memory of the New Carolean era especially given the Kings links with the county.
