Description
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1940, with raised lettering over flap reading ‘Post Office’. Located adjacent to main entrance to Columb Barracks (15310007 to 15310019) to the west side of Mullingar.
Appraisal
This cast-iron post box, which is still in use, is a subtle feature in the streetscape to the west side of Mullingar. The modest design of the box is enhanced by the raised lettering. The date of this post box is difficult to determine as it has neither the Crown motif nor later Irish insignias.
