Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Anonymous Pillar Box, The Green Walk, Chingford, London E4 By accident, pillar boxes made between 1879 and 1887 bear no royal cipher or crown, only the makers name, Handyside. It is for this reason that they are referred to as Anonymous. In 1887 the Post Office corrected this oversight and subsequent boxes were cast with the wording POST OFFICE and the VR cipher.
Since this time all boxes have a cipher of the current monarch. In Scotland EIIR (of Queen Elizabeth the second) is replaced with the Scottish Crown. This pillar box is situated on the corner of The Green Walk and Parkhill Road. |
