I am putting together a collection of post boxes on UK stamp issues I am looking also for postcards showing pictures of the post boxes. There are many traditional red pillar boxes but if my history is correct the boxes in Ireland were painted green following Irish Independence in 1922 Also I am told that the Isle of Man painted a few gold for the 2012 Olympics. I am looking for a post card/ stamp/or picture showing any of the mentioned history. Can any stamporama member steer me in the correct direction? Thanks

Not just the Isle of Man, but all over Britain. I have just walked passed one near the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.

The Gold post boxes represent all the UK gold winners in the 2012 Olympics/Paralympic Games(Athletes birthplace/home town?).

Googling "UK gold painted postboxes" will bring up ( among other hits) a site showing a map of the locations.

There appear to be several gold pillar box images on Google Image, Cheryl, including a Wikimedia Commons one that could be posted here without fear of copyright issue.
