A Georgian version by W.T. Allen of London, set into what is clearly a modern brick surround. Old maps show a box at this junction since post-war, infering that this box is at a new site. Beside the familiar red street sentinel are two grey Post Office boxes, a less common sight. Note how the 'artists' have singled out the anonymous boxes but not the original.
