What is recorded here

Pier-mounted cast-iron "wall box" post box, extant 1962, with "P7T [Posts and Telegraphs]" monogram. Set in roughcast pier.
A "wall box" post box supplied by Jessop Davis (closed 1962) of Enniscorthy, County Wexford, representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a rural street scene with embellishments identifying the artistic potential of the composition including the Cló Gaelach or "Old Irish Lettering" defining the monogram of the Departments of Posts and Telegraphs (fl. 1924-84).
