Venue Details

Located above the re-created Victorian Post Office at Blists Hill Victorian Town, this exhibition explores the vital role the Post Office has played in the lives of generations of Britons – from opening up long-distance communications to the masses, to providing essential services in the most remote communities in the country.

Highlights include a bright red BSA Bantam – the most well known make of motorcycle used by the Post Office – a Hen and Chicks pentacycle, and range of letter boxes, home safes, Post Office Savings Bank books and an early example of a telegram.
