What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron letter box, installed c.1890, bearing crown and royal insignia of Queen Victoria and manufacture W.T. Allen & Co, London. Mounted in the side wall of Tullokyne School.

This attractive rural post box, in the boundary wall of Tullokyne School, remains in active use. It is a fine example of mass-produced cast-iron with a simple design that is enhanced by the use of raised lettering and royal cipher which also acts as a reminder of the time when Ireland was part of the British Empire. The founder's name also features on the face of the post box, W. T Allen & Co, London (1881-1955), who started manufacturing post boxes for the Crown in 1886.
