In Britain, the first red pillar postboxes were erected in Guernsey in 1852. [6] Roadside wall boxes first appeared in 1857 as a cheaper alternative to pillar boxes, especially in rural districts. In 1853 the first pillar box in the United Kingdom was installed at Botchergate, Carlisle. In 1856, Richard Redgrave of the Department of Science and Art designed an ornate pillar box for use in London and other large cities. In 1859 the design was improved, and this became the first National Standard pillar box. Green was adopted as the standard colour for the early Victorian post boxes. Between 1866 and 1879 the hexagonal Penfold post box became the standard design for pillar boxes and it was during this period that red was first adopted as the standard colour. The first boxes to be painted red were in London in July 1874, although it would be nearly 10 years before all the boxes had been repainted. [7] In 2012, to celebrate Olympic gold medals for Team GB, selected boxes were painted gold. [8] Novelist and postal official Anthony Trollope, who lived for a time in Donnybrook, is credited with introducing post boxes to Ireland in the mid-19th century. The penny post had been such a success that postage volumes were on the increase and having to go into the post office simply to post a letter was becoming impractical.

The United States Post Office Department began installing public mail collection boxes in the 1850s outside post offices and on street corners in large Eastern cities. [11] American collection boxes were initially designed to be hung or supported, and were mounted on support pillars, lamp-posts, telegraph poles, or even the sides of buildings. [11] By the 1880s, these pillar boxes were made of heavy cast iron to deter theft or vandalism. [11] As mail volume grew, the Post Office Department gradually replaced pillar mailboxes with larger free-standing models, though many of the pillar boxes continued in service as late as the 1960s.

The floor was prepped and them primed with the epoxy sealer coat, before being finished with the top coat in light grey. Those first boxes were red – pillar-box red – as they were throughout the British empire. Made of cast iron, they appeared freestanding on streets, embedded into walls and attached to poles. Not just a useful and a practical solution to a problem,the boxes in all their vivid redness were a potent and ubiquitous symbol of British rule in Ireland.
