Post box in Moneymore, County Louth

What is recorded here

Post box in Moneymore sits at the entrance to Saint John’s Home on Peter’s Hill, taking letters through the wall. A marvellous arrangement for anyone writing, ‘I’ll call in soon.’ You can deliver the promise personally without doing anything rash like keeping it.

Cast-iron wall-mounted post box, erected c. 1890, with "VR" insignia and crown motif, set in red brick wall at entrance to Saint John's Home on east side of Peter's Hill.

The cast-iron post box forms a modest though attractive addition to the streetscape. Its recognisable form and simple detail illustrate the artistic qualities of mass production at the time of the casting and remains in use as an important feature in the social and urban fabric of the town.
