PILLAR BOX Project Britain

On 23 November 1852 the first four British pillar boxes were introduced as an experiment in St Helier, on the island of Jersey. They were red-painted hexagonal boxes much the same as seen in the first photograph below.

How to tell how old a pillar box is
¿Cómo saber la edad de un buzón?

Until the 1980's both the telephone and the postal service came under the control of the General Post Office. Post boxes older than 1980 will often have the words Post Office rather than Royal Mail as seen on modern post boxes.
Hasta la década de 1980 tanto el teléfono como el servicio postal estaban bajo el control de la Oficina General de Correos. Los buzones anteriores a 1980 tendrán a menudo las palabras “Oficina de Correos” en lugar de “Correo Real” como se ve en los buzones modernos.

The Royal Cipher (Monarch's symbols or motif )
El Monograma Real (los símbolos o motivos del Monarca)

On every post box in the UK, the Royal Cipher can be seen of the reigning monarch at the time of the installation. It is made up of the Christian (first) name of the King or Queen together with the letter R which stands for Regina (Queen) or Rex (King).
En todos los buzones de correos del Reino Unido se puede ver el monograma real del monarca reinante en el momento de la instalación. Se compone del primer nombre del Rey o la Reina, junto con la letra R que significa Regina (Reina) o Rex (rey).

THANKSGIVING DAY Project Britain

Thanksgiving Day

America celebrates Thanksgiving Day on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a harvest festival that dates back to 1621, the year after Pilgrims from England arrived in Massachusetts.

Who were the Pilgrims?

The Pilgrims were the first settlers of America. They sailed away from England in September 1620, on a small ship called the Mayflower, in the hope of finding a new home where they could live in peace and freely practice their faith. It took them 66 days to reach America from England.

The first Thanksgiving

Only half of the 110 Pilgrims who left England in 1620 survived that first year. Many died during the first winter. The survivors turned for help to neighbouring Indians, who taught them how to plant corn and other crops. The next Autumn harvest was plentiful and inspired the Pilgrims to give thanks by holding a three-day feast.
Thanksgiving became an official national holiday 200 years later, when in 1863 President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday of November a national day of thanksgiving. In 1941 the US Congress passed a law officially establishing the celebration of Thanksgiving as the fourth Thursday in November.

Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving is widely known as Black Friday and is often said to be the biggest Christmas shopping day in America.

DIA DE ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS

Acción de Gracias

América celebra el “Día de Acción de Gracias” el cuarto jueves de noviembre. Es una fiesta de la cosecha que se remonta a 1621, un año después de que los Peregrinos llegasen a Massachusetts.

¿Quiénes fueron los peregrinos?

Los peregrinos fueron los primeros colonos de América. Zarparon de Inglaterra en Septiembre de 1620, en un pequeño barco llamado “Mayflower”, con la esperanza de encontrar un nuevo hogar donde poder vivir en paz y practicar libremente su fe. Tardaron 66 días en llegar a América desde Inglaterra.

El primer día de “Acción de Gracias”

Solamente la mitad de los 110 peregrinos que abandonaron Inglaterra en 1620 sobrevivieron el primer año. Muchos murieron durante el invierno. Los supervivientes pidieron ayuda a sus vecinos indios quienes les enseñaron como plantar maíz y otros cultivos. Al siguiente otoño la cosecha fue abundante lo que llevó a los peregrinos a dar gracias celebrando una fiesta durante tres días.
Thanksgiving se convirtió en fiesta nacional oficial 200 años más tarde, cuando en 1862 el Presidente Lincoln proclamó el último jueves de noviembre como Día Nacional de Acción de Gracias. En 1941 el congreso de Estados Unidos aprobó una ley estableciendo oficialmente la celebración del día de Thankgiving el cuarto jueves de noviembre.

La mayoría de personas en los Estados Unidos celebran esta fiesta con reuniones familiares en sus hogares donde preparan un banquete. Aunque sus orígenes son religiosos, está considerada como una festividad secular. En muchas casas es común ofrecer una oración de gracias. El plato principal tradicional para la cena es un gran pavo asado o ahumado. Este pavo tradicionalmente va acompañado con un relleno hecho de pan de maíz y salvia. Se sirve tradicionalmente con una jalea o salsa de arándanos rojos.

Viernes negro

El día posterior a Thanksgiving se conoce como “Black Friday” y se dice que es el mayor día de compras de Navidad en América.

REMEMBRANCE DAY IN BRITAIN Woodlands-junior

November is the time of the year when we wear a red poppy in memory of those who sacrificed their lives for us during wars.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice, on 11th November 1918, to signal the end of World War One.
At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare.

What is Remembrance Day?
Remembrance Day is on 11 November. It is a special day set aside to remember all those men and women who were killed during the two World Wars and other conflicts. At one time the day was known as Armistice Day and was renamed Remembrance Day after the Secod World War.
Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is usually the Sunday nearest to 11 November. Special services are held at war memorials and churches all over Britain.


A national ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. The Queen lays the first wreath at the Cenotaph.
