Description

Freestanding cast-iron pillar box, erected c.1905, with moulded neck, curved cap and ER VII royal cipher with crown motif.

Appraisal

The highly decorative lettering to the front of this post box enlivens its modest form. Cast-iron post boxes of this type are becoming increasingly rare in Irish streetscapes having been replaced by more modern examples. The ER VII cipher identifies the reign of Edward VII (1901-1910).
