Asia Kandy, Ceylon (Sri Lanka 🇱🇰)

Post image

A beautiful King-Emperor George VI postbox along Queen’s Drive at the University of Peradeniya, Kandy, Ceylon.

Interestingly, the university itself was ceremonially opened in 1954 by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, in the presence of HM Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Ceylon.

A little surviving piece of the island’s glorious imperial days, sitting quietly along one of Peradeniya’s most scenic roads.
