What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c.1905. Having royal monogram of Edward VII and ‘POST OFFICE’ insignia. Set into masonry pier.
This post box is an example of mass-produced cast-iron work, with raised insignia enhancing the modest design of the piece. The royal cipher and crown motif are of special interest, constituting a physical reminder of the relationship between Ireland and the British Empire. Many pre-Independence post boxes were simply repainted green and retained this royal insignia, those with that of Edward VII being quite rare given the shortness of his reign.

Explorer Tom Roche Castle is guarded by seagulls who think they paid for the tickets themselves. It’s perched on a rock and judging your car park choice from above. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
