Pier-mounted cast-iron "lamp box" post box, between 1939-84, with "P7T [Post and Telegraphs]" monogram. Set in pier.
A "lamp box" post box representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a sylvan setting 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).
