Post box in Glenmore East, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Post box in Glenmore East came all the way from a foundry in Enniscorthy and has looked settled ever since. A proper blow-in: ninety years standing by the road, and somebody is bound to be still calling it the Wexford one.

Wall-mounted cast-iron post-box, installed c. 1930, bearing raised logo P&T of the Post & Telegraphs to front (south-east).

This attractive roadside feature remains in excellent condition. The box has a simple form that is enhanced by raised lettering. It is a fine example of a mass produced cast-iron items cast during the first half of the twentieth century after the formation of Saorstat Éireann. It was produced by a domestic supplier, Jessop Davis also know as St. John's Foundry (1890-1964) who were based in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford.
