A mystery artist has struck again, bringing Christmas cheer to the residents of Netherfield with their latest festive-themed crochet creation,

The post box outside the post office on Victoria Road was first decorated by the mystery knitter back in the summer lockdown, with a fetching wooly hat appearing on top of the box, to help shield it from the sun.

But as of this morning the hat has been replaced by the knitter’s latest creation and a mischievous elf and Grinch have now taken residence on top of the box.

And this latest creation is proving a hit with people on the high street.

Margaret Adams, 62, from Carlton said: “It was lovely to see this this morning. We’ve had a tough year and it’s easy to forget it’s Christmas. This reminds you and who ever has done this is wonderful.”

Netherfield resident Anthony Banks said: “Whoever does this is doing it under the cover of darkness. It’s great for our town. It’s like having a Banksy as these knitted decorations just appear out of nowhere in the morning.”

  1. It is definitely crochet, not knitted, and looks superb! We also have post box toppers in Burton Joyce too. They are certainly a talking point and very cheery.
