Post box in Inchaleagh

Pole mounted cast-iron post box, erected c.1950. Raised P&T emblem and panelling detail to main body and door.

Located opposite Bealnamorive Church and the former local national school, this post box was positioned to take advantage of passing traffic. A fine example of early twentieth century mass-produced cast-iron work, the raised detailing is of artistic interest, alluding to the Celtic Revival style and representing the continued promotion of a national identity.
