What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, installed c.1860. Royal crest and insignia of Victoria with fluted decoration to door having maker's mark at base.
This discreet item of street furniture has a subtle impact on the visual appeal of the streetscape and is in continuous use. The various raised details enhance the design quality of the post box, while the royal cipher is of interest as a reminder of Ireland's history as part of the British Empire. The post box remains in reasonable condition and is a good example of early mass-produced cast-iron ware.
