What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c. 1850, with 'Post Office' written in relief. Manufacturer's marker on base: 'W.T. Allen & Co. London'. Mounted in former shop wall.
Such post boxes replaced the smaller and more modest boxes containing a 'P&T' insignia. The 'post office' design on this box indicates that the former shop may possibly have functioned as the area post office.
