40/4/10014 Fluted Letter Box in Grounds of Colesgrove Manor
II
Pillar Box - a unique Fluted Giant' made in 1855-6 by Smith and Hawkes of Birmingham to design of Post Office Architect Mr. Edge. Cast Iron, painted red. Fluted shaft, with vertical opening and frieze inscribed POST OFFICE'. Tall domed cap topped by a crown on a tasselled cushion, the whole rising to nearly eight feet high. The survivor of only three such pillar boxes, the design subsequently dismissed on grounds of excessive cost. Originally sited either at the City end of London Bridge near the Fishmongers' Hall, or at New Street, Birmingham. Taken out of service in the 1880s, exhibited in 1890 for the penny Post Jubilee Celebrations, and loaned to curator of the National Postal Museum, who installed it at Colesgrove Manor.
