Appraisal
This late twentieth-century post box is of a simple design, which has little decorative detailing. This functional object is representative of late twentieth-century design. Post boxes of the late twentieth century are becoming increasingly rare, as they are not afforded the protection of older boxes, though they are equally threatened by plastic replacements.
