Pillar Box, Soho by Allan Miller
Allan Miller decided to take this shot of a Royal Mail pillar box on Dean Street as it was a simple but clear symbol of London. He took a close-up of the stickers near the top of the box and only a few hours later returned to take the whole pillar box. "I liked the view on the left - it gives you a little bit of depth down the street." Pillar boxes show the royal cypher of the reigning monarch at the time. It is possible to see VR for Queen Victoria all the way to ERII for the late Queen Elizabeth II shown om this "Type C" pillar box. Second Place (Judges' Choice) and December in the 2023 MyLondon calendar.
