What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c.1900. The words 'Post Office' are in raised lettering above the letter slot. Manufacturer's name 'W.T. Allen & Co. London' to base.

Bearing no insignia, but with manufacturer's name and other finely executed lettering, this post box is an attractive addition to the streetscape of Bridge Street. Its simple, but recognisable, form attests to the skilled qualities of mass production at its time of casting. The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
