What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron "wall box" post box, between 1905-10; extant 1922, with "ER [Edwardus Rex] VII" royal cipher. Set in rendered wall.
A "wall box" post box supplied by W.T. Allen and Company (fl. 1881-1955) of London 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 King Edward VII (1841-1910; r. 1901-10) royal cipher or additional significance as an imprinted reminder of the period when Ireland formed part of the British Empire.
