Site in a prominent position on the main street of Edenderry, this pillar box commands the attention of passersby. Various features such as the fluting below the domed cap as well as the raised lettering and crown motif enhance this piece of street furniture. The founder's name Handyside is a reference to the Leeds firm of founders, Andrew Handyside & Co., who were in operation from c.1853-1933.
