EIIR pillar box at the back of the old courthouse Image According to the “Shire” guide to old letter boxes, this cast-iron pillar box is a design (1974) replacing sheet-steel rectangular boxes, introduced in 1968 which subsequently proved defective. The design was relatively short lived being replaced by a cylindrical version in 1980. This is the only one of the type that I have (consciously) seen in NI.
