For location and some historical background, see Image . Set in the wall of a former sub-post office. A Ludlow style box, made by the Eagle Range & Foundry Co (probably in the 1880s). For comparison with similar letter box types, there is an excellent gallery at Colne Valley Postal History Museum http://www.cvphm.org.uk/LudlowTour.html . See also Image . At the bottom of the enamel plaque it says 'NOTICE. Letters which contain COIN if posted as ordinary letters will be charged on delivery with a special registration fee of eightpence'. It probably didn't occur to them to allow for inflation. Postbox number : CA1 72D.
