VR Wall Box Skipton: Airton - BD23 95

This box was made by WT Allen of London and is one of the small size versions of the 1881-1901 range of wall boxes which was the last range of wall boxes made in the Victorian era.  This particular style of the small size box in the range was made between 1882 and 1885 and has a modified aperture.  During the 1950s and 1960s some boxes had their aperture modified to take larger letters and the hood on these apertures didn't have the words 'POST OFFICE' cast on them.

It is box number BD23 95 and can be found in Airton on the way to Malham near Skipton, North Yorkshire.

It was spotted by Steve on 26 February 2018.
