What is recorded here

Cast-iron post box, c. 1975.

This post box is representative of the design and form of late twentieth century cast-iron post boxes in Ireland. Today, contemporary post boxes are generally plastic and often replace the distinctive cast-iron box. It is important to afford protection to cast-iron boxes, as they are no longer in production. It is interesting to note the changes in the decorative detail of cast-iron post boxes from Victorian times to the latter part of the twentieth century.
