post box

Wall-mounted rectangular green-painted cast-iron post box installed c. 1885, embossed with Victoria insignia and crown and on the projecting postal slot hood the words 'POST OFFICE'. Mounted in limestone walling to east of McCanny & Co. Solicitors.

This post box is an important historic feature which adds context to the social and urban fabric of the town. Although the design is simple, the high relief casting of the lettering and crown are well executed.
