From then until the present day the Royal Cypher for the reigning monarch is still added to each box during manufacture. This has given us a wide range and age of boxes throughout our towns, cities and countryside. Some of the common Royal Cypher's can be seen below but there are always slight variations from year to year and box to box.
Starting at the first Post Box location this multi will take you on on an approx. 1.17 mile (2.12 round trip) walk around Devizes finding the Royal Cypher’s on each of the selected Post Boxes. Just match these up with the simplified chart for each box location to find the required answer.
