Victorian postbox at Harcombe Wallbox EX10 88, installed in a cottage wall just east of the bridge over the brook. The box looks very similar to a type made by W T Allen of London in the 1890s, but they normally cast their name at the base, which makes me think this may not actually be one of theirs.
