post box — GALTRIM

The record classifies post box — GALTRIM as post box. It does not safely state the first owner's purpose beyond that use, so this first account does not borrow a story from a namesake.

No architect, builder, owner, worker or resident is named in the saved wording. Those people remain unknown until the linked official record or another source identifies them.

The saved wording does not establish particular rebuilding, extensions, damage or changes of use. No visible feature is assigned a date without supporting evidence.

The public record still identifies the place as post box. Its saved point marks the building or centre of its recorded area, but the stock wording does not provide a room-by-room condition report.

post box — GALTRIM matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Cast-iron post boxes such as this are often replaced by modern plastic boxes and are becoming increasing rare throughout Ireland. The modest form of this box is enhanced by the simple and well designed lettering and crown which add artistic interest to the box. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
