Post Box, South Parade, Whitley Bay
This box dates from the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). The custom of including a royal cypher on post boxes dates back to the very earliest roadside boxes from the reign of Queen Victoria. There was no standard cypher used by the Post Office during this period until, in the 1880s, a consistent cypher began to be seen. Unlike the cyphers of proceeding monarchs, Queen Victoria’s cypher did not usually include a crown. This box was probably erected at some time between 1895 and 1901.
