What is recorded here

Round-headed cast-iron post box, c.1930, with P.T. insignia, set in limestone wall.
This well-designed post box serves as a physical reminder of the change in administration from British colonial power to the Irish Free State in the 1920’s and 30’s. The simple lettering enlivens its modest form and adds artistic interest to the box.
