Description
Freestanding cast-iron pillar post box, erected c. 1905. Moulded neck, fluted cap and having royal insignia of Edward VII insignia.
Appraisal
This cast-iron post box forms an attractive addition to the streetscape. The very fine insignia 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.
