Post box in Creeves, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Post box in Creeves has a brick surround framing it against a rendered wall, like the family portrait nobody dares take down. Except this one accepts correspondence. At last, somewhere to put the complaints about who inherited the dresser.

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c. 1880, with VR insignia and crown motif. Mounted in rendered wall with brick surround.

This attractive cast-iron post box, with the Queen Victoria monogram and crown motif, is an important reminder of Ireland's relationship with Britian. It is of technical interest for its cast-iron construction.
