What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron letter box, installed c. 1880. Raised royal insignia of Queen Victoria and crown cipher to front (south-west), having manufacture's name to base. Panelled surround to door, and raised lettering to letter slot hood.
This attractive letter box is ideally situated fronting directly onto a road within the village of Ashford. It is a fine example of the mass produced cast-iron items manufactured by the W.T Allen and Company (1881-1951) of London. The inclusion of the royal crown and insignia add artistic and historical interest to this pleasing piece of street furniture.

Explorer Tom Glenduff Castle would post a selfie of its replica tower and caption it 'vintage vibes'. It burnt in 1922 but still acts like it’s the main event. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
