Advice Series: Ironwork

Ireland has a wonderfully rich heritage of historic ironwork. The extraordinary variety of the ironwork that survives around the country is testimony to the durability and functionality of the material. To this day, many streets are served by historic cast iron lamp standards and post-boxes.

The Advice Series is a series of illustrated booklets published by the Architectural Heritage Advisory Unit of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. The booklets are designed to guide those responsible for historic buildings and how best to repair and maintain their properties.
