What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, installed c. 1880, having royal cipher and insignia above canopied letter slot with raised lettering. Moulded panels to door and embossed makers name stamp to base. Red brick surrounds, mounted within enclosing wall of Saint Mary's Roman Catholic Church. Located adjacent to cross road.

This unusually large example of a Victorian era cast-iron post box is mounted in a accessible location at the entrance to a church. Its elongated style distinguishes it from other examples within the area, with a substantial letter slot canopy, raised lettering royal cipher and insignia enhancing its artistic merit. The retained royal cipher is a reminder of a period of Irish history prior to gaining Independence.
