What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron "pillar box" post box, between 1910-22; extant 1924, with "GR [Georgius Rex]" royal cipher. Set on concrete footpath.

A "pillar box" post box supplied by McDowall Steven and Company (fl. 1828-1930) of London and Glasgow representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in an urban street scene with embellishments identifying the artistic potential of the composition including the King George V (1865-1936; r. 1910-22) royal cipher of additional significance as an imprinted reminder of the period when Ireland formed part of the British Empire.
