Cast-iron post box, erected c.1890, with 'Post Office' insignia. Original 'VR' monogram now partially removed. Built into loggia to front of Athlone East Train Station (15007135).
An attractive piece of late nineteenth-century mass produced cast-iron work. The various raised elements serve to enhance the artistic design quality of the composition.
