Description
This is an Edwardian pillar post box, dating to approximately 1905. The post box was located off Cable Road in Whitehead, County Antrim. It has since been removed, and its precise location could not be re-established during a subsequent inspection due to lack of additional information. It is assumed that the post box was removed between the initial survey and the second survey.
