What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1905, with ER VII royal cipher with crown motif. Located at Killoughy Crossroads. Maker's name 'W.T Allen & Co. London' on base.
This cast-iron post box forms a modest though attractive addition to Killoughy Crossroads. The recognisable form and simple detail of this post box illustrate the artistic qualities of mass production at the time of its casting. It identifies the reign of Edward VII (1901-1910). The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
