What is recorded here
Post box in Townparks stands outside the courthouse in St. Nicholas’ Parish, which puts a fierce strain on the usual postcard sentiments. ‘Having a lovely time. Wish you were here. Bring someone who knows the law.’
Freestanding cast-iron pillar post box, erected c.1915, on cylindrical base, with raised 'GR' royal cipher, having moulded neck and plinth with dentillation to shallow domed cap. Sited in front of courthouse in paved pedestrian area.
This post box was cast by McDowall, Steven and Company Ltd of London and Glasgow and represents a good example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasant contribution to the streetscape. It continues in use today after a century of service.
