What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1890, with V.R. insignia and crown, set in rendered wall.
Cast-iron post boxes such as this are becoming increasing rare throughout Ireland. Its modest form is enhanced by the simple and well designed lettering and crown, which add artistic interest to the box.
