The first pillar box.

and from Wiki
In Scotland there were protests when the first boxes made in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth II were produced. These bore
the cypher "E II R" but Scottish nationalists objected since
Queen Elizabeth is the first Queen of Scotland and of the
United Kingdom to bear that name, Elizabeth I having been
Queen of England only. After several pillar boxes were blown up,
the Royal Mail replaced them with ones which bore only the Crown
of Scotland and no cypher.

"Danger Mouse" (Englands answer to Mickey, but on steroids)
lives with his assistant in a pillar box, or did in the 1990's
Not sure if he is still resident.

It appears so! DangerMouse lives in a trusty red pillar box
just outside of the Baker Street home of Sherlock Holmes

I made a mistake, it's "Mighty Mouse" using steroids,
poor old Danger Mouse has flaccid bi-ceps.
