Number 1805 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.
Welcome to Old Warden. The first mention of a post office in the village is in 1873. The post office national archives record the issue to Old Warden in April 1890 of a type of postmark known as a rubber datestamp. Sadly, the village post office closed on 14 October 2008 and neither of the fine pair remain operational for theirt original purpose.
You will find the fine pair very close together! Nearby is a sign with the phone number 01767 ABCDEF above an arrow and the word ENTRANCE. Use this to calculate the final; coordinates: N 52 4.C(A-B)(C-B) W 0° 20.(C+E)D(A-F) Checksum: 43
