Victorian Pillar Box

Not many of these left now.

This handsome example is in the grounds of Chiddingstone Castle, Kent.

Fact: the pillar box was introduced into Britain by Post Office official (and part-time novelist) Anthony Trollope.

It sits on the lawn outside the big house. I wonder if it has always been there. I don't see why not. A house like Chiddingstone Castle would probably have generated as much post as a small village.
