Description

Appraisal
An attractive item of street furniture located at the intersection of the Old Cabra Road and Glenbeigh Road. Supplied by the Carron Company (1922-present) of Stirlingshire, the post box is an example of the high quality of mass-produced cast-iron work in the early twentieth century. The raised Post and Telegraphs insignia, lettering reading 'Next Delivery’, moulded handle and dentillated cornice adorn the post box.
