Geocache Description:


 

Number 1460 in a series of caches where a red telephone box is in close proximity to a post box.


The only rules are that they have to be able to be photographed together, be not more than 100’ apart and the phone boxes have to be red.

 

Wecome to the Wanstead Fine Pair. This features a rare Edward VIII post box besides the traditional red phone box. With a reign of just 326 days there was little time for new post boxes bearing his monogram to be placed hence there relative scarcity.

As with many urban hides this area can be busy with muggles, please be stealthy when finding and replacing the cache.

The phone number for the phone box is 020 8989 ABCD

N 51° (D-C)B.BDB
E 000° A(D-B).(C+D)C(B+C)
