post box

Cast-iron wall box, c.1905, with E R VII insignia. Set in rubble stone wall.

This cast-iron post box forms a modest though attractive addition to the streetscape of Donacarney. The recognisable form and simple detail of this post box illustrate the artistic qualities of mass production at the time of its casting. Post-boxes of this material are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland, and are now often replaced by metal sheeted post boxes.
