What is recorded here
Cast-iron post box, erected c.1880, with VR royal cipher and crown motif. Maker's mark 'W.T. Allen & Co. London' at base. Set in random coursed limestone wall.
The modest form of this Victorian post box is enhanced by the simple and well designed lettering and crown motif, which add artistic interest to the functional piece. It identifies the reign of Victoria (1837-1901). The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
