What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron pillar post box, c.1940, with raised 'P&T' monogram and 'Post Office' to door and shallow domed cap with dentillated edge. Set into concrete paving of footpath.
This is an attractive item of street furniture that represents mass-produced cast-iron ware that is enhanced by the Celtic-style 'P&T' cipher, a subtle reminder of the promotion of national identity following Independence. Like much of the cast-iron street furniture throughout Britain and Ireland, it was produced in a Scottish foundry, Carron Company of Stirlingshire.
