What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron letter box, installed c. 1890, bearing raised lettering to hood over opening and manufacture's name to base of front (south-west) elevation. Mounted in rough-cast render pier with render plinth and capping forming part of entrance to presbytery associated with Saint Ita's Roman Catholic Church.
An interesting roadside feature which was manufactured by the W.T Allen and Company Foundry (1881-1951), who were based in London. This letter box does not feature a royal crown and insignia motifs that are often associated with post boxes manufactured by this London based company, however it appears that this cipher may has been removed following the formation of the Irish Free State.
