What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1910, with 'Post Office' in raised lettering to the letter flap. No cipher or insignia. Makers name appears at base in raised lettering ' T. Allen & Co. London '. Built into wall of Fiddler's Green Pub towards the north end of Streete Village.

An attractive item of street furniture representing an early-surviving artifact of mass-produced cast-iron ware. The raised lettering enhances the modest design quality of the composition, while the survival of the manufacturer's signature is also of note. This post box probably dates to the last years of British rule with the royal insignia subsequently removed after Independence. It is built into the wall of Fiddlers Green public house, which appears to have been built originally as a post office (Ordnance Survey map of the village, c.1914).
