What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1905, with raised “ER VII” royal cipher. Set in limewashed lime rendered rubble stone boundary wall.
An attractive item of street furniture that forms a discreet feature in the street scene. The various raised details enhance the artistic design quality of the composition, while the royal cipher in particular is of interest as a reminder of Ireland as part of the British Empire. The post box also represents a well-maintained early-surviving artefact of mass-produced cast-iron ware.
