Paul's Unofficial Letterbox Pages

Welcome to Paul's Unofficial Letterbox Pages (P.U.L.P). I wrote the original P.U.L.P back in August 1996 when it was, I believe, the first ever web page on the subject of British roadside letterboxes. Since then the P.U.L.P web site has been mentioned in The Times newspaper and appeared on a CD-ROM. I do not profess to be an expert on letterboxes and if you have a specific question about them and cannot find the answer here, I suggest you get in touch with the Letter Box Study Group, a group which anyone seriously interested in studying letterboxes should consider joining. I do hope you find these pages useful. There are approximately 116,000 operating roadside letterboxes in the UK today.

Letterbox, a slot or box designed for receiving letters and small packets.
