Unusually this postbox does not include the usual Royal Cypher on the front.
Anonymous postboxes

The cylindrical design of pillar boxes arrived in 1879. Boxes manufactured by Handyside & Co between 1879 and 1887 omitted the 'VR' cypher from the front and are known as 'anonymous' boxes. The early ones up to 1883 had the aperture near the top of the box. Later ones positioned it lower down. This cypher oversight was corrected from 1887.
