Appraisal
This cast-iron post box, which is still in use, is an attractive item of street furniture and represents a notable surviving artifact of mass-produced cast-iron work. The raised Gaelic script lettering alludes to the Celtic Revival, representing the promotion of a national identity within the emergent independent state.
