What is recorded here

wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1900, with GR royal cipher and crown motif. Located on roadside at crossroads beside a church and water pump. Maker’s mark ‘W.T. Allen & Co. London’ to base.

Together with the brightly painted water pump, this cast-iron post box forms an attractive feature on the roadside. The simple form and design of the post box is enhanced by the lettering and royal cipher in high relief. The royal cipher identifies the reign of George V (1910-1921). The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
