  • Cover photo description:
  • A Victorian green post box. In the Victorian era ‘Bronzing’ was applied to some new post boxes. Bronzing was a technique whereby green paint was applied and then dusted with bronze powder. This highlighted prominent features. On 5 February 1857 the manufacturer Cochrane was contracted to supply 100 pillar boxes ‘painted with four coats of paint, bronzed and delivered to any railway station’. By 1859, along with a standard design of box, the colour of post boxes appears also to have been generally standardised as green, though there may have been many exceptions where boxes did not require repainting for a number of years and local variation persisted
