Guernsey's post boxes reflect the island's evolving postal history, beginning with pillar boxes introduced in 1853 following trials inspired by the novelist Anthony Trollope. This box, installed in March 1957, served the community until November 2025. It stands beside The Track on Victoria Avenue, a historic sporting venue with deep ties to one of the Channel Islands' most beloved traditions: the Muratti Vase.
The Muratti Vase is an annual inter-island football competition between Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney, played since 1905. Named after a popular cigarette brand Muratti which was popular across the Channel Island at the time and the orginal sponsor. The competition was paused during both World Wars, but the rivalry has endured, producing memorable moments along the way — including Alderney's celebrated victory in 1920. Jersey has claimed the most titles overall, with more than 55 wins, while Guernsey have accumulated over 45. Finals are traditionally played at Springfield Stadium in Jersey or on home soil here in Guernsey. The Muratti has become a proud highlight of the local sporting calendar and for islanders, the Muratti is more than a football match, it's a symbol of community spirit and island pride.
