What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c. 1930, with raised P&T lettering. Set into square-profile pier of neighbouring school. Manufactured by Saint John's Works Enniscorthy.
The simple Gaelic lettering of the P & T emblem adds an artistic quality to this early example of mass produced functional objects. The emblem is significant as it illustrates the growing confidence of the Irish Free State, replacing the royal insignia found on post boxes belonging to an earlier era.
