Description

Wall-mounted cast-iron round-headed post box, erected c. 1905, having ER VII insignia and crown motif. Set into wall of house.

Appraisal

This post box retains very fine insignia of Edward VII, which demonstrates the artistic qualities of mass production at the time of its casting. Such post boxes are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland and are now often replaced by plastic boxes.
