Pillar boxes were first introduced into Britain at the instigation
of Anthony Trollope, the novelist, who was also a Post Office
surveyor. Although many letter boxes are ordinary, some types, such
as those that survive from the 1850s, are understandably rare. This
book describes and illustrates some of those from the Channel
Islands, where pillar boxes were first introduced in 1852, to
Scotland, which has had its own design of letter boxes since the
Queen's accession in 1952, and from the heart of London to the
depths of rural Wales and the Irish Republic.
