Description
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c. 1890, with VR insignia and crown and lettering to hood cast in relief, set in front wall of former shop.
Appraisal
Cast-iron post boxes such as this are often replaced by modern plastic boxes and are becoming increasing rare throughout Ireland. The modest form of this box is enhanced by the simple and well designed lettering and crown, which adds artistic interest to the box.
