What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1940, with P&T and manufacturer’s insignia. Set into boundary wall of former glebe house on Market Street.
An attractive example of early twentieth-century mass produced cast-iron utilitarian goods. Well-maintained and still in use, this modest post box is an interesting and subtle addition to the streetscape. The raised 'P&T' insignia in Celtic-style font attests to the promotion of a national identity following the establishment of the Free State.
