What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron pillar box, c. 1930. Cylindrical shaft, moulded necking, dentil frieze, shallow domed cap; "P&T" inscription to door, manufacturer's name to rear "Carron Company made in England". Sited on concrete footpath.

This pillar box is an attractive item of street furniture that represents an early twentieth century artifact of mass produced cast-iron ware. The modest decoration seen in the moulded neck and dentil frieze enhance the utilitarian object. The Celtic-style lettering is of particular interest as it is a reminder of the promotion of the Irish national identity following the establishment of the newly formed Irish Free State in the 1920s.
