What is recorded here

Freestanding round-plan cast-iron post box with plinth base, installed c.1935. Raised insignia of P&T to front (west) elevation, moulded neck, dentillated frieze and shallow domed cap. Maker's mark to rear (east) side of base ‘Carron Company Stirlingshire’.

This attractive piece of street furniture represents the high quality of mass-produced cast-iron work in the early years of the twentieth century. The insignia, representing the national Posts & Telegraphs service, dates the box to the early years of the Irish Republic.
