Post box in Ballybricken East, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Post box in Ballybricken East has the maker’s name cast into its base. Most of us sign a birthday card and immediately doubt the spelling of our own name; Jessop Davis went straight into molten metal.

Wall-mounted cast-iron letter box, erected c. 1950, with P&T (Post and Telegraphs) monogram and maker's name cast in relief to the base: 'Jessop Davis Enniscorthy'.

This cast-iron post box forms a modest though attractive addition to its site. The recognisable form and simple detail illustrate the artistic qualities of mass production at the time of its casting. Post boxes of this material are becoming increasingly rare throughout Ireland.
