What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, installed c.1880, with panelled door. V.R. Insignia and crown to box with illegible maker's mark to base. Set in painted rendered wall

Cast-iron post boxes such as this are often replaced by plastic versions 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 add artistic interest to this functional object, and are reminders of Ireland’s status prior to Independence.
