What is recorded here
Post box in Abington puts Victoria’s crown at the top and the name of the people who actually made it down at your shoes. The entire British class system, taking up no more room than a biscuit tin.
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c. 1890, with VR lettering and crown insignia. Manufacturer's name on base: 'W.T. Allen & Co. London.'
Cast-iron post boxes such as this are becoming increasing rare throughout Ireland, often replaced with mass produced boxes. The simple, well designed lettering and crown motif enhance its modest form and adds artistic interest to the box.
