Description
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, installed c.1905, with 'ER VII' royal cipher and crown motif in relief. 'Post Office' in raised lettering to letter slot canopy and makers mark 'PT Allen & Co London' to base.
Appraisal
This cast-iron post-box, which remains in use, is a subtle but important feature of the streetscape. The modest design is enhanced by the royal cipher with crown motif, which enlivens the appearance of this otherwise functional object.
