What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c. 1890, with inscribed VR raised lettering, and raised crown motif. Set in rubble limestone wall. Manufacturer's name on base: 'W.T. Allen & Co. London.'

An important feature in the streetscape, this post box represents an early surviving example of mass-produced cast-iron ware. The raised elements serve to enhance the artistic design quality of the composition, while the raised crown motif is of particular significance as a tangible reminder of the period when Ireland formed part of the British Empire.
