Description
Freestanding cast-iron pillar box, c. 1880, with moulded neck having lettering in relief, dentillated curved cap and royal insignia of Queen Victoria.
Appraisal
This post box is an attractive item of street furniture that is becoming increasingly rare as older models are systematically replaced with modern versions of little design distinction. There is evidence of fine crafting in the cast lettering and insignia.
