Guerrilla post box crocheting
A guerrilla crocheter has been decorating local post boxes by giving them a hat called a topper..
Slinfold village centre.
Blackbridge Lane. The piece of paper hanging from the brim of the topper is a poem and an appeal for Horsham Matters, a local charity which aims to relieve hardship through the provision of essential services such as food, fuel and shelter and specifically a Christmas meal for the homeless..

Someone didn't want to be left out of the fun and had left a plastic duck on top of a pillar box in Pontail Road.
A Christmas themed topper also on Pondtail Road
A topper on another post box in Rushams Road, What I have not yet discovered is whether these are produced by the same person or whether there is a competitive environment.

Thank you so much for your donation. Some of the toppers you pictured were made by Horsham Normandy WI You have captured two of the four we put out to raise awareness for COP26. We also put the one out for remembrance day and hope to improve on it for this year. We put out 14 for Christmas to raise money for Horsham Matters. You have most of them, but have missed the one in Springfield Road, just passed Wilkinsons, snowmen in Merryfield Drive, penguins in St. Leonards Road, and a fun snow scene outside Highwood Mill. Not all of the toppers pictured were made by us, but we have had fun doing it and intend to continue, despite some being stolen.
