An anonymous pillar letter box in Rowley Park, Stafford
Anonymous pillar letter boxes are boxes without a Royal cypher. They were manufactured by Andrew Handyside & Co., Derby, between 1879 and 1887 and omitted the words POST OFFICE and the VR royal cypher in error hence the description anonymous. Installed anonymous boxes were not recalled. This box was manufactured during the period that the Rowley Park private estate was being developed.

Behind the box is an entrance to Rowley Park Pleasure Gardens which are accessible only to Rowley Park residents.
