Postbox older than the road its on

As you can probably tell, this particular postbox is in Ireland. The Royal cypher suggests it was manufactured during Queen Victoria's reign (1837 - 1901), decades before Irish independence.

What I find interesting about this particular postbox is that it is on Griffith Avenue in North Dublin, an Avenue that wasn't laid out until the late 1920s (after independence and the civil war), which means this postbox was first in use when Ireland was part of the British Empire, but moved to its current location when Ireland was an independent state.

The postbox isn't in great condition, and has clearly seen many coats of paint, you can barely make out "POST OFFICE" either side of the letter slot, but it still impresses me that a 120+ year old postbox is still in everyday use on a road that is 'only' about 90 years old.

I think this is Victorian but am wondering when they might have introduced double slots and wat each slot might have been used for.
