What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron "lamp box" post box, between 1905-10, with "ER [Edwardus Rex]" royal cipher. Set in rendered surround in coursed rubble stone boundary wall.
A "lamp box" post box supplied by A. [Andrew] Handyside and Company (established 1848) of Derby and London representing an interesting example of mass-produced iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a sylvan street scene with embellishments identifying the artistic potential of the composition including the King Edward VII (1841-1910; r. 1901-10) royal cipher of additional significance as an imprinted reminder of the period when Ireland formed part of the British Empire.
