Description
Cast-iron post box, c.1905, set in rubble stone wall with crown and E R VII insignia.
Appraisal
This cast-iron post box forms a modest though attractive addition to the entrance to the former railway station. The recognisable form and simple detail of this post box illustrates the artistic qualities of mass production at the time of its casting. Post boxes of this material are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland and are now often replaced by plastic boxes.
