What is recorded here

Cast-iron post box, c. 1880, with VR insignia and crown motif. Replacement cast-iron door, c. 1925, with embossed SAORSTAIT EIREANN emblem. Mounted in rubble masonry wall, forming east boundary to church and Parochial House, fronting onto street.

This attractive cast-iron post box, with its is Queen Victoria monogram and Free State emblem, is an important reminder of the changeover from British to Irish administration in the early years of the Free State. It is of technical interest for its cast-iron construction. The Saorstait Eireann emblem, in particular, is a design feature of artistic note.
