Not quite honesty boxes, but Bristol has a good culture of "tat".
It used to be quite common to see usable household goods left outside a house for others to take.
- Ichthypresbyter 1y agoAs opposed to the story about the person who leaves their unwanted furniture outside with a sign reading "Free- Please Take". It sits there undisturbed for a week. Then they replace the sign with one that reads "$10- put cash in letterbox" Within an hour, the furniture is gone, though of course there's no cash!
