Description

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1890, with VR royal cipher and crown motif. Set in limestone wall that bounds the train station.

Appraisal

The modest design of the box is enhanced by the royal cipher with crown motif, which enliven the appearance of this otherwise functional object. It identifies the reign of Victoria (1837-1901).
