What is recorded here

Cast-iron post box, erected c.1890, with VR royal cipher and crown motif. Maker’s mark ‘W.T. Allen & Co. London’ to base. Set within roughcast rendered wall.

This post box, set within the wall on the side of Newbridge Street, is modest in its form and design. The box is enhanced by its simple V and R lettering and high relief crown motif which add an artistic element to this functional item. The lettering identifies the post box as having been erected during the reign of Victoria (1837-1901). The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
