George VI wall boxes feature an ornate "GVIR" (George the 6th Rex) cypher and the Tudor Crown, a departure from the earlier Victoria Regina (VR) boxes. George VI boxes prominently display the royal cypher "GR," representing "George Rex," or King George. Unlike the earlier Victorian boxes with the Imperial State Crown, George VI designs correctly feature the Tudor Crown.

The GR 1935 Pattern Lamp Letter Box (LB211) came right at the end of the reign. It is made entirely of cast iron, the last lamp box design to be so constructed. The eliptical roof of these very attractive boxes gives them the name "Waggon Top" boxes. The design was perpetuated into the George VI reign (LB212).

This post box is situated on the estate at Tatton Park, Cheshire.
