Colonial Era Post box

The Colonial Era Post Box on Penang Hill is a genuine historical artifact from the British colonial period. This cast-iron pillar box, painted in the traditional red, stands as a functional and charming reminder of the hill's history as a retreat for British administrators and residents. These post boxes were a common feature of the British Empire, and finding one still in its original location on Penang Hill is a delightful discovery for history enthusiasts. It is a small but significant piece of heritage that adds to the historical atmosphere of the summit, and visitors can still post their letters and postcards from this unique and historic spot.
