When the first public mail routes were started in Britain, ornate cast iron poles were erected at intervals along the routes. They were about 5 feet tall with large hooks on either side. Examples can still be seen standing along the A 3400 between Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon - a particularly good one just outside the village of Long Compton.
The mail coaches would hang sacks of mail for the surrounding villages from the hooks and each village would designate someone to go and collect the mail from the "post" and he became known as the "post-man." From this humble beginning we now have Postmen, Post Offices and the Postal Service.
