Letterbox, Tytherton Kellaways

Note the inscription 'Machan Scotland' which denotes manufacture at the foundry of Machan Engineering, Denny, Falkirk. The foundry was dissolved in 2016. Orders for new post boxes had dwindled. There are over 100,000 post boxes in the United Kingdom.
The 'ROYAL MAIL' legend first appeared on letter boxes in the early 1990s; prior to this letter boxes had the words 'POST OFFICE' cast onto them. The change was prompted by the separation of Post Office Counters Limited and Royal Mail as independent companies.
