The Postal Museum - 10 March 10.45am 2022

We are heading for the Postal Museum to learn about the story of the post. From five-wheeled cycles and the first ever stamp, to Mail Rail, a hidden underground train ride, you will discover five centuries of communications history.

On a guided tour we uncover details of the surprising history of one of the greatest British inventions, the post – the very start of the earliest social network.

From cryptic Victorian Valentine cards to a lion encountered on Salisbury Plain. And the odd pistol, too. There is nothing ordinary about the story of the post!
