“The earliest surviving pillar box still in daily use is the unusual little one…. Remarkable for having its letter aperture in the top rather than the side of the box, the result apparently of an oversight on the part of its designer, Richard Redgrave of the Department of Science and Art in London, it was manufactured by Cochrane & Co of Dudley and dates from 1857-1859”
