Description
Cast-iron post box, c.1905, with E.R. VII insignia and crown motif.
Appraisal
This cast-iron post box forms a modest though attractive addition to the streetscape of Kells. The recognisable form and simple detail of this post box illustrate the artistic qualities of mass production at the time of its casting. Post boxes of this material are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland and are now often replaced by plastic boxes.
