What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron letter box, erected c. 1885, bearing crown and royal insignia of VR lettering. Manufacturer's name on base: 'W.T. Allen and Co. London'. Mounted in boundary wall of Mid-Western Regional Orthopaedic Hospital.

This handsome item of street furniture, which is still in use, remains in good condition. The post box is a notable example of early mass-produced cast-iron. The raised lettering and royal cipher enhance the quality of the composition, and is a reminder of Ireland's past as part of the British Empire.
