What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1905, with ER VII royal cipher and crown motif. Maker’s mark ‘W.T. Allen & Co. London’ to base. Set in random coursed wall of factory complex.
The modest design of this post box is enhanced by the well executed lettering and insignia. Socially, this is an important piece of street furniture. It identifies the reign of Edward VII (1901-1910). The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
