Description
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1905, with ER VII royal cipher and crown motif. Maker's mark 'W.T. Allen & Co. London' to base. Set in random stone rubble wall.
Appraisal
This post box is located in a substantial random rubble wall, close to the village of Rahan. The functional form of this box is enhanced by its simple high lettering and royal cipher. The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
