Post box in Mallow, County Cork

What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c. 1915, with lettering in relief and 'GR' royal insignia. Set into rendered wall in arch of former market building.

This cast-iron post box, which is still in use, is an important, if subtle, item of street furniture that represents an example of mass-produced cast-iron work. The raised details serve to enhance the artistic design quality of the composition, while the presence of a royal insignia augments the importance of the post box as a tangible reminder of Ireland's past as part of the British Empire.
