Explorer Tom Killoughy post box is a cast-iron beauty from Edward VII’s reign, sitting at the crossroads judging your mail habits. Some local claims he invented it while eating a sandwich, which is definitely true if you ask him. Find the wonkies in its stance and laugh at the world.

Explorer Tom Toberlugna in Letter is half a wall and full of mystery. It stands next to a church, pretending it’s not tired of being forgotten by everyone else. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
