What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, c.1940, with raised 'P&T' monogram in Gaelic script. Set into wall of former post office on Mardyke Street.
An attractive piece of mass produced early twentieth-century cast-iron. Well-maintained and still in use, this modest artifact is a subtle addition to the streetscape. The raised 'P&T' insignia in Gaelic script attests to the promotion of a national identity upon the establishment of the independent State.
