Description
This is a Penfold pillar box, dating from circa 1872. It was designed by J.W. Penfold and manufactured by Cochrane and Co of Dudley. The box is constructed of cast iron and painted red. It has a hexagonal shape, featuring a beaded frieze and an ornate top decorated with acanthus-style leaves and a bud finial. Above the letter box opening is the Royal coat of arms, with the words "Post Office" flanking the opening and the letters "VR" entwined beneath the frame where the time plate would be. The box was originally located on the east side of St Pancras Way, but was moved to its present location outside Parcel Force London Central Office, on the west side of St Pancras Way, around 2014.
