What is recorded here
The Post box in Rathcoole has been standing there since about 1960 with the same P & T badge. You’d think somebody would have offered it retirement by now. They probably did, by letter, and the poor divil is still holding it.
Cast-iron pillar post box, c.1960, with ‘P & T’ mark to door.
A fine mid twentieth-century traditional-style cast-iron post box which blends well into its urban setting, adding greater character to the modern streetscape.
