Post box in a wall on Exmoor - roadside wall boxes first appeared in 1857 as a cheaper alternative to pillar boxes, especially in rural districts; These first boxes were manufactured by Smith & Hawkes. Minor changes in design have been made over the years but essentially today's wall boxes are little different to those of the 1930's. In the 1950's there was much complaint about the small posting apertures of the smaller wall boxes, as a result most of these boxes of Victoria, Edward V11 and George V were modified and received a wider slot.
