What is recorded here
Wall-mounted 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 rendered wall.
The modest form of this post box is enhanced by the simple and well designed lettering and crown which add artistic interest to this functional item. It identifies the reign of Victoria (1837-1901). The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
