What is recorded here

Freestanding round-plan cast-iron pillar postbox, erected c. 1960, having shallow domed cap, fluted frieze, moulded neck and plinth base. Raised 'P&T' cipher to front (north) face; no maker's mark. Located on north side of Mellowes Road to east of junction with Kildoonan Road.

One of many cast-iron postboxes scattered throughout the dense northern suburbs of Dublin, reflecting the expanding social infrastructure of the mid-twentieth century, as communities were relocated in the wake of inner city development. Unusually, this example bears no maker's mark, but it is a functional and attractive piece of street furniture.
