What is recorded here

Post box in Cashel belonged to the days when a long-distance row had to go in writing. You could put a furious letter through that little P&T door and have three peaceful days before finding out you were still wrong.

Cast-iron wall-mounted post box, c. 1930, with P&T and manufacturer’s insignia.
This is one of a series of mass-produced post boxes having a simple functional form enhanced by raised lettering. It serves as a reminder of early twentieth-century Ireland, when the postal service was generally the only means of long-distance communication. Such boxes are becoming rare.
