What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron "pillar box" post box, extant 1984, with "P7T [Posts and Telegraphs]" monogram. Street fronted on concrete brick cobbled footpath.

A "pillar box" post box supplied by A. [Andrew] Handyside and Company (established 1848) of Derby and London representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in an urban street scene with embellishments identifying the artistic potential of the composition including the Cló Gaelach or "Old Irish Lettering" defining the monogram of the Departments of Posts and Telegraphs (fl. 1924-84).
