Edward VII wall box, Dovecote
Unusually this example simply carries the letters E R without the VII. This suggests that it could be a very early example, based on the simple substitution of E for V on a pattern from the previous reign. Box ref DE74 185.

St Edwards C of E Primary School, Castle Donington
Built in 1910 by Leicestershire County Council; Ashby-de-la-Zouch Girl's School of 1901 features similar stylistic elements, so may be designed by the same municipal architect.
