Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Sir James Murray's pillar box outside 78 Banbury Road, Oxford. Its position is explained by the blue plaque above: 
Sir James Murray
Editor of the Oxford English Dictionary
lived here 1885-1915.

This was the period covering the bulk of his work towards the completion of the mammoth dictionary and his correspondence with contributors was so intensive that a personal post box was installed to cope with it.
