What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron post box, c.1890. Shallow domed capping with dentil enriched sides and hinged door bearing the V.R. insignia in raised lettering.

The design of pillar post boxes was standardised in 1859 and this example survives from the latter years of Queen Victoria's reign. While some post boxes had their doors with the monarch's insignia removed in the 20th century, this example has remained intact and has stood in this location for over a century.
