What is recorded here

Round-headed wall-mounted cast-iron post box, installed c.1935, having 'P & T' emblem in relief.
This well-designed item of street furniture adds character of the streetscape. It serves as a reminder of the change in administration from British colonial power to the Irish Free State, with the Postal and Telegraph and Celtic Revival style lettering indicating a post Independence installation.
