Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Zoom in on our Market Cross in Kells, Co. Meath scene - to see if we can work out if this is a post box, or some other wondrous contraption...

Flickr community contributors (see comment thread on source) suggested that this was a charity receptacle for donations of old newspapers - based on an interpretation that the raised lettering reads:

[something]
OF
OLD NEWSPAPERS
[something]
FOR THE USE[?]
OF THE
SICK POOR
OF KELLS HOSPITAL

Date: Circa 1900??
