Description
The pillar box located outside Hanover House is a cast-iron structure dating from 1866 to 1879. It was designed by J.W. Penfold and manufactured by the Cochrane Grove Company of Dudley. This hexagonal letter box features an elaborate leaf-decorated crest and the lettering 'VR'. Cheltenham is home to eight of the 94 surviving Penfold-type Victorian pillar boxes believed to still exist in the country. Other examples can be found on Bayshill Road, College Lawn, Douro Road, Evesham Road, Lansdown Road, Pittville Circus Road, and St Paul's Road.
