What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1905, with 'ER VII' royal cipher and raised crown motif. 'Post Office' in raised lettering to letter flap/hood.

This cast-iron post box, which is still in use, is a subtle but important feature in the landscape. The modest design of this post box is enhanced by the royal cipher with crown motif, which enlivens the appearance of this otherwise functional object. It identifies the reign of Edward VII and is a subtle historical artefact. Many pre-independence post boxes were simply painted green and retained their royal insignia but are now becoming a rarer sight and are worthy of retention.
