Post boxes are painted the way they are for two reasons. The first is to make them easier to see, the second is to clearly identify them as a post box. For the second reason, it’s also important they all look the same.
This is a pretty stupid take, to be honest.
PS they dont all look the same. Many in shop walls while they have the same colour and basic design but flat.
There were loads outside larger post offises that were black boxes with 3 slots. (From when 3 classes of mail existed.
The first is and was common in villages where pavements were to narrow. But you are correct they were of a design that was reminisant of the piller.
The bigger ones really were a huge acception. Other then shape i have no idea why they abolised the look.
Not sure when they were built. May have been something to do with the 60s design ethos. As I can only remember the late 70s on.
So the exact thing the vandal has altered?
I gave 2 examples. One that in no way keeps that design.
And my comment was in no way supporting the work. Just questioning if the excuse that op used that they were more attractive then other boxes.
