Old Letterboxes

Pillar boxes were first introduced into Britain at the instigation of Anthony Trollope, the novelist who was also a Post Office Surveyor. Nowadays the red postbox is a familiar sight in city street and country lane alike. Although many are very ordinary, some types, such as those that survive from the 1850s, are understandably rare. This book ranges from the Channel Islands to Scotland, and from the heart of London to the depths of rural Wales and the Irish Republic.
