Appraisal
This attractive roadside feature remains in excellent condition. The box has a simple form that is enhanced by raised lettering. It is a fine example of a mass produced cast-iron items cast during the first half of the twentieth century after the formation of Saorstat Éireann. It was produced by a domestic supplier, Jessop Davis also know as St. John's Foundry (1890-1964) who were based in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford.
