Appraisal
This post box is mounted into the boundary wall of a school, neatly emphasising its social importance. Although mass-produced it is a stylish item and is enhanced by the Posts and Telegraphs monogram in raised lettering. The presence of the post box enhances the site of the school and the latter provides interesting context for the post box.
