What is recorded here

Cast-iron post box, c. 1920, with GR monogram.
This post box is representative of early twentieth-century cast-iron post boxes in Ireland. It is interesting to note the changes in the decorative detail of cast-iron post boxes from Victorian times to the latter part of the twentieth century.
