What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c. 1905, with inscribed ER VII and raised crown motif. Set in limestone wall. Manufactured by 'W.T. Allen & Co. London.'
This cast-iron post box, which is still in use, is an important item of street furniture representing an early surviving example of mass-produced cast-iron work. The raised lettering and crown motif enhance the design quality of the composition and serve as a reminder of Ireland's past as part of the British Empire.
