post box

Freestanding cast-iron pillar post box, c.1940, with raised 'P&T' monogram in Gaelic script to door and a shallow domed cap over with fluted edge capping. Located on concrete footpath.

An attractive item of street furniture that represents an early surviving artifact of mass-produced cast-iron ware. The Gaelic script 'P&T' cipher is of interest as a subtle reminder of the promotion of a national identity following the establishment of the independent State.
