Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1900, with GR royal cipher and crown motif. Located in boundary wall of Clonfinlough Roman Catholic Church. Maker’s mark ‘W.T. Allen & Co. London’ to base.
This cast-iron post box is a notable feature on the roadside outside Clonfinlough Church. Set into the church's boundary wall, it was a convenient and familiar location for the local community. The GR royal cipher adds a decorative dimension to this utilitarian object. It identifies the reign of George V (1910-1921). The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
