Anthony Trollope, the famous novelist, once worked for the post office and promoted the idea of road side letter boxes that he had seen during his travels in France and Belgium. In 1953, he suggested that road side post office boxes should be introduced to Britain and initially they were trialed in the Channel Islands. 3 cast iron boxes were trialed, primarily as cast iron was strong and durable in terms of security. The initial success of the post boxes led to their introduction on the British mainland. The boxes differed in size and dimensions as there were no uniform box and it was not until 1859 that a uniform design was introduced as a money saving measure. The red colour was introduced in 1879.
