Byers Choice Carolers 2010 Postman and Red English "Penny Post" Mailbox This scene centers around the 2010 Postman with Postcards to deliver. Besides the well designed historical uniform, we see his hand full of letters, as well as an overflowing stack of letters in his side sack. He is standing next to a Red English "Penny Post" Mailbox . Prior to the 1840's, sending letters through the mail was far too expensive for ordinary people. The railways allowed for a more affordable system to move the mail more effectively. This new system allowed prices to drop significantly with trains replacing the horse and carriage used prior.As the mail became more affordable and popular, bright red pillar post boxes designed by Richard Redgrave in the 1850s began to spring up in urban areas throughout Britain. This affordable new postal system designed for the masses was nicknamed the "Penny Post."
