What is recorded here
Post box in Glenosheen is still lodged in the former shop wall, with its grand raised lettering over the slot. The shop gave up; the box has the air of a tenant who knows perfectly well nobody can get a sofa into the room until he leaves.
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c. 1890, with VR insignia and crown and lettering to hood cast in relief, set in front wall of former shop.
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 adds artistic interest to the box.
