Description

Wall-mounted round-headed cast-iron post-box, c. 1930, with P&T emblem in relief, set into rendered pier.

Appraisal

This cast-iron post box forms a modest though attractive addition to the roadscape. The recognisable form and simple detail illustrate the artistic qualities of mass production at the time of its casting. Post-boxes of this material are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland.
