Summary

Description

Completing our "Wiltshire Week" is this image of a post box in Dublin 4. Though repainted and rebranded with the P&T logo, this post box was almost certainly installed more than 50 years before this image was captured. A further 50 years later, presumably it still remains. If so, can someone run out and try and catch the last post? Although maybe there's no panic - as it seems there's 2 further collections on a Saturday (though perhaps not over a bankholiday weekend)....

The consensus is that the post box dates to the early years of the reign of Edward VII (1901-1910), and was built by Handyside & Company (of Derby and London). The post box remains at the junction of Clyde Rd and Raglan Rd. Although almost certainly with less frequent collections than the 3x weekday (and 3x weekend) pickups indicated here. The MkII Cortina also probably made it's last pickup quite some time ago....
