The Box Postcards in Depth
When the Box Parish Council received a gift of Victorian and Edwardian postcards from Maurice Hewlett of The Hermitage, Box in the 1980s, they were quick to realise the importance of the collection and keen to make the story of the village accessible to residents. They asked David Ibberson to produce a book called “The Box Collection” for sale, to which he added a few extra photos and assembled a history of the buildings and people shown in the photos. A follow up "Collection Book 2" followed.
