Post box toppers

In the run up to remembrance and Rathcoole Row on Row, members of Dalaradia/RATH have fitted remembrance post box toppers around the estate.
There are 5 post boxes within the area and as promised last year we got a little something different for the Diamond as it has a unique shape.
The post box toppers are located at:
Diamond Spar
Drumcor Court
Glanroy Crescent
Ardfarn Close
Rathmore Drive
We hope you like them.
