This post box is sited on the wall at the entrance to a caravan park. Seems it may have been "re set" sometime recently, albeit slightly askew.
Tell us about the area the post box is situated.:
Pegwell Road at this point is very narrow, following the coastline very closely. Although next to a caravan park now, the site has had many uses over the years. Pegwell Bay was very popular during Victorian and Edwardian times as a busy holiday spot, with tea rooms, regattas and bathing facilities among other things.


Condition of the box: Good/Average/Poor: Good

Is this post box still in use?: Mon - Fri 4:15pm - sat 11:45am

Is VR embossed on the post box or is it an "anonymous" box?: Embossed

Any other embossed lettering, such as manufacturer?: Manufacturer

Manufacturer Inscription: WT Allen & Co, London (1881-1901)
