Appraisal
This post box is an attractive item of street furniture which is in continuous use and remains in good condition. It is a fine example of early mass-produced cast-iron. The raised lettering, indicating that it was produced by W.T. Allen & Co., London, is all that remains by way of decoration. It may have had a British royal cipher on the door, which may have been removed when Ireland gained independence.
