Wall box
Encyclopedia : W : WA : WAL : Wall box
Wall boxes are a type of post box or letter box found in the UK, the Commonwealth of Nations, and Ireland. They differ from pillar boxes in that, instead of being a free-standing structure, they are generally set into a wall (hence the name) or supported on a lamp-post or other stable structure. (Note: a few wall boxes are, confusingly, free-standing, such as that outside Vollams Newsagents (formerly a post-office) in Gloddaeth Street, Llandudno.) Wall boxes, similar to pillar boxes, in the United Kingdom and its former colonies such as Malta, bear the intials of the reigning monarch at the time the box was made.
