A bold, glamorous and striking red that will brighten anything it’s painted on. Make a statement on a front door or play equipment. Farrugia, Jean Young (1969). The Letter Box: a history of Post Office pillar and wall boxes. Fontwell: Centaur Press. ISBN 0-900000-14-7. Royal Mail letter boxes are a cherished feature of the British street scene. As well as being in daily operational use for an essential public service, they are national icons and a highly distinctive part of our environment. Currently there are over 85,000 in England alone. The vast majority make a very significant contribution to the character and appearance of the areas in which they are located. Since 1852, the main changes have been those of design and manufacture. Experimental designs have included a rectangular shape of 1968 and a radically different cylindrical design of 1980. However, new pillar-type letter boxes presently being produced reflect the same design and patterns that have served so well for 123 years: a simple cast-iron pillar with a cap and a double aperture oval box for town and city centre use.

Even those with a medium to light brown hair shade should consider pre-lightening their hair before dyeing. For this shade, we recommend lightening hair, with bleach, to a shade 8. A Manic Panic Flash Lightning Kit is sure to help lighten your hair and ready it for semi-permanent hair dye. We start by preparing the original surface ready for painting, by removing any loose paint and rust on the post box while keeping as much of the original paint and character as possible

If you are feeling brave and ready to try out a radical new style then why not try your hand at a two-tone or highlighted style with your red Manic Panic hair dye. Styles such as these require you to divide your hair into sections before you begin as you will not be dyeing your full head of hair. Done right, you can give yourself a salon-worthy look on your own. No need to mix the colour, apply straight from the tube or mix a pea size amount of colour with conditioner to create your own unique shade! We advise, and it is stated on the product instructions, everyone should perform a strand test before dyeing their hair, even if they have used the product before, as that ensures they will achieve the right result. So remember to buy the product 48 hours in advance. VR' 'ER' ''GR' are the most sought after with the more modern bullet shape pillar boxes now gaining in popularity. Standardisation of sorts came in 1857 with the deliberations of the Committee for Science & Art of the House of Lords. The committee designed a very ornate box festooned with Grecian-style decoration but, in a major oversight, devoid of any posting aperture, which meant they were hewn out of the cast iron locally, destroying the aesthetic of the box. Fifty were made for London and the big cities and three survive. One is in Salford Museum, Greater Manchester and the other two are at the BPMA in London. A similar, much-simplified version has survived painted green by An Post at the Cork Kent railway station, Ireland. Also to be found only in Ireland is one of the early boxes, now at the An Post exhibit on the history of the Irish postal service in the General Post Office, O'Connell Street, Dublin. It is the sole surviving "Ashworth" box of 1855 for the Northern District, that included all of the island of Ireland.Please note:Finished visual results may vary dependent on hair type, porosity and the natural base colour. The Edward VII boxes now had the posting aperture as part of the door, rather than the body of the box. That eliminated the chance for mail to get caught up in the top of the box. This basic design remains the same today, having served well throughout the reigns of George V, Edward VIII, George VI and Elizabeth II.
