What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron "wall box" post box, extant 1905. Set in boundary wall.
A "wall box" post box supplied by W.T. Allen and Company (fl. 1881-1955) of London representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a sylvan street scene: meanwhile, only a feint outline survives of the "chiselled off" Queen Victoria (1814-1901; r. 1837-1901) royal cipher ("VR [Victoria Regina]").
