Early pillar-box, Eton High Street
It could well be that it was this design that first gave rise to the term 'pillar-box', as the design seems to have been modelled on a Doric column. How many there are still in use, I don't know - but I suspect it's no more than three or four. I believe there is one in Warwick, and perhaps in Malvern.
Update: Five more fluted pillar boxes can be found on Geograph. Of those, a pair in Warwick are the closest match to the Eton box, having a vertical letter slot: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/257390. There are no less than three in Malvern, similar in style, but with the slot placed horizontally:

The Eton box, by the way, is still in use. The slot might appear to have been blanked off, but is simply protected by a hinged flap - a refinement omitted from most later designs.

Tiger Garden Restaurant, Eton
The restaurant, specialising in Bangladeshi cuisine, is at 47-49 High Street.
The building, previously The Cock Pit http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2337761 has a long and varied history. The age of the building is unknown for certain. Its style is 15th century, but documentary evidence of the present structure does not occur until 1611. It is the last surviving example of the shop-houses which were typical of Eton before the arrival of the College.
The postbox http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3474750 is an early design that was introduced in 1856.
