What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1940, with P&T and manufacturer’s insignia. Rectangular aperture and display panel enclosed by raised reveal. Set into boundary wall at roadside.
The simple functional form of this post box is enhanced by the P&T and manufacturer’s mark. It serves as a reminder of mid twentieth century Ireland, when the Postal and Telegraphs insignia replaced the Royal British monograms of the previous administration. Post-boxes of this period are becoming increasingly rare.
