What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron lamp box, c.1910, with ER royal cipher and in raised lettering above aperture 'LETTERS ONLY'. Attached to wall at the gates to the former presbytery at Clonmore.

The modest form of this wall-mounted lamp box is enhanced by the Edward VII royal cipher. Though no longer in service, it survives in its original position at the gates to the former presbytery at Clonmore. It shape is unique within the county where the wall mounted boxes are more common. The royal cipher refers to the reign of Edward VII (1901-1910).
