Description
Freestanding cast-iron "pillar box" post box, between 1939-84, with "P&T [Posts and Telegraphs]" monogram. Street fronted on concrete brick cobbled footpath.
Appraisal
A "pillar box" post box representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in an urban street scene with embellishments identifying the artistic potential of the composition including the Cló Gaelach or "Old Irish Lettering" defining the monogram of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs (fl. 1924-84).
