History
The design was introduced by the GPO in 1936. This example dates from the reign of George VI. Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (1880-1960). Scott was the grandson of the prolific Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, and his buildings include Liverpool Anglican cathedral and in London the former Bankside power station, now Tate Modern.

Raised surrounds to sides, and door with marginal bars to horizontal glazing. Blank rear with foundry plate; moulded plinth.
Reason for designation
