Cast-iron post box, c.1920. Located at busy junction on Castlejordon to Clonmore road opposite former shop. Mounted in concrete stand with lettering 'Post Office' above letter aperture and maker's name 'W.T. Allen and Co. London'.
Located opposite a once-busy shop that has long since gone and beside a disused water pump, this junction on the Castlejordan to Clonmore road was once a busy meeting point. This post box is still in use today and is a notable feature on the roadside. The London firm of founders, W.T. Allen & Co., was in operation from 1881-1955.
