Five days apart

... or 115 years and 1980 miles, depending on how you look at it. This Victorian red letter box sits near the market in the centre of Norwich, UK, whereas the modern-day yellow letter box is in Paphos, Cyprus. I took the photos five days apart!

Today we visited Norwich Cathedral followed by the Castle and its museum and art galleries. My Extra shows a 19th century Jacquard Loom:

"The Jacquard mechanism on this loom is by DeVoge of Manchester and was made about 1870. Jacquard's invention is said to be 'the first computer' as it's based on a binary system using holes punched in card sets which are 'read'. The punched cards rotate on the cylinder controlling the needles and hooks that connect via the harness to the warp threads. These are to be raised or lowered row by row to allow the shuttle to pass through and produce a patterned cloth."
