Description
Wall-mounted cast-iron "wall box" post box, extant 1922. Set in rendered boundary wall.
Appraisal
A "wall box" post box supplied by W.T. Allen and Company (fl. 1881-1955) of London representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in an urban street scene: meanwhile, only a feint outline survives of a "chiselled off" royal cipher (cf. 15507023; 15701804; 15703908).
