What is recorded here

Cast-iron wall-mounted letter box, c.1890, with moulded frame and canopy over slot. Royal insignia of Queen Victoria with letters 'V.R.' flanking crown in relief at top, raised lettering reading 'POST OFFICE’ to canopy. Hinged door to lower section. Set into stone wall at corner of crossroads.

This attractive cast-iron post box remains an important feature of the roadscape and is still in use today. It identifies the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Many pre-independence post boxes were simply painted green and retained their royal insignia but are now becoming a rarer sight.
