From memory, aren't they also quite shallow?


No, I seem to remember that they were about the same height as your
standard pillar postboxes -- perhaps slightly higher.

Sorry, I wasn't clear -- I mean shallow depth, not height.

The window is fairly flat, which reduces the depth a bit, but doesn't
have much impact on the volume. They are also bigger in cross-section
than the average cast-iron pavement pillar box, iirc.
