What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c. 1905, with raised lettering. Maker's mark on base: ' W.T. Allen & Co. London'. Set into rubble stone boundary wall.
This post box represents a good example of early mass-produced cast-iron. The raised lettering enhance the design quality of the composition. The royal insignia has been removed at some stage in the past, reflecting the political climate of the early twentieth century.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
