What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1890, with VR royal cipher with crown motif. Maker’s mark ‘W.T. Allen & Co. London’ to base. Located at Garryhinch Crossroads.
The modest form of this box is enhanced by the simple and well designed lettering and crown, which add artistic interest to the box. The royal cipher refers to the reign of Victoria (1837-1901). The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
