What is recorded here

Cast-iron post box, c.1905, with ER VII insignia and crown motif, set in concrete surround into a blocked up door in the front elevation of the Coppanagh Corn Mill.

Set into the wall of Coppanagh Corn Mill at Coppanagh, this rural post box is an indicator of a formerly thriving rural industrial complex. The recognisable form and simple detail of the post box illustrate the artistic qualities of mass production at the time of its casting. Cast-iron post boxes are becoming increasing rare throughout Ireland, often being replaced with mass-produced plastic boxes.
