Site Details

Postbox adjacent to 48 South Green, Staindrop

Wall-mounted boxes were introduced in 1857 as a means of introducing cheaper, smaller capacity boxes for smaller towns and more rural areas. Initially these were small rectangular boxes mounted either into existing walls or into purpose-built brick pillars. Once these began to prove successful larger varieties were cast, eventually up to three basic sizes. (1)

This site was added to the Local List on 13th November 2023.
