Pillar box Queen Elizabeth's Walk, London

This Pillar box is located at the junction of Queen Elizabeth's Walk and Grazebrook Road, London.

 

Andrew Handyside had the Post Office Contract to make pillar boxes from 1878 to 1933 (1931-1933 known as Derby Castings).

 

Here is one such Pillar Box. On the front of this box is a "VR" which is the Royal Cypher of Queen Victoria. This would have been manufactured in Derby sometime between 1887-1901.
