Description

Cast-iron post box, erected c.1905 with E R insignia and crown motif. Replacement door with Saorstat Eireann emblem added in 1920s. Mounted in stone wall.

Appraisal

The modest form of this post box is enhanced by the simple and well executed lettering and crown which add an artistic dimension. Particularly appealing is the addition of the subsequent Irish Free State emblem, stamping the new ruling order of the country on this important piece of infrastructure.
