Part of our landscape is the bright red Royal Mail postbox. The first postbox was installed in 1852 in St Peter Port, Guernsey, (or was it Jersey?) by the novelist Anthony Trollope, then a surveyor's clerk. The first mainland box was at Bishops Caundle in Dorset, dated 1853. By 1900 there were 32,593 pillar boxes in the United Kingdom.
All boxes carry the royal insignia and on the accession of a new monarch the old boxes and insignia are retained (except Edward VIII's had their doors replaced with those bearing the cipher of George VI).
