Close to where I live is one of the earliest surviving hexagonal post boxes (also known as a Penfold), dating from the reign of Queen Victoria and made between 1866 and 1879. This beauty, which is listed for preservation, was moved from it's original location. It was deemed to be too close to the road having received a knock from a truck, so moved around the corner to a safer location, is still in active service, and is a well loved feature in our locality.

Calary Races ran from 1902 to the late 1950's and were run by Bray Harriers, a hunt that is still in existence. In an era when there was far less in the way of entertainment, and people had far lower expectations of comfort, this was a major event and always was held on "the first wet Wednesday in April" according to locals. This was the last point to point before the Punchestown Festival and last chance to "get a race into your horse".
