What is recorded here
Post box in Teeranea has ‘Post Office’ grandly embossed on a box in a wall. By that reckoning, a biscuit tin is a bakery. I’d love to see the estate agent trying to show you round the premises.
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box installed c.1885, with embossed lettering 'Post Office' and royal mongram of Queen Victoria with crown emblem.
This type of late Victorian post box is becoming increasingly rare. It highlights the period when Ireland was a colony of the British empire. Although mass-produced, the post box has decorative detailing which, along with its historical value, makes this item an important part of the local heritage.
