What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron pillar post-box, installed c.1880, comprising cylindrical shaft, moulded neck, dentillated frieze and shallow domed cap. Embossed with raised lettering 'POST OFFICE', 'VR' Royal cipher to lower portion, and foundry stamp '…& Co. Ltd London' to plinth. Sited in footpath at corner of Church Street and Main Street outside former Ballybay Market House, Ballybay.

An important and attractive piece of street furniture of practical purpose, this pillar box also gives historical and social context to the streetscape. It is a good example of Victorian mass-produced cast-iron work.
