What is recorded here

Pole-mounted cast-iron round-headed letter box, erected c. 1905, with GR monogram, crown motif and lettering cast in relief. It was originally sited in Ballybrood.

A subtle item of street furniture that enhances the visual appeal of the street scene, and which represents a good example of early surviving mass-produced cast-iron work. It is notable for it's dedication to George Rex (King George V) and for it being one of a few surviving round-headed post boxes in County Limerick. The various raised details contribute to the artistic design quality of the composition, the royal cipher and crown motif being of particular importance as a reminder of a period when Ireland was part of the British Empire.
