Questions about Bantry Post Office

Is Bantry Post Office on the National Inventory?

Yes: rated Regional (record 20834024).

Can you visit Bantry Post Office?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

When was Bantry Post Office built?

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1860–1900.

Is Bantry Post Office protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
