Learn about the rich, 500 year history of the Postal Service in the UK. We're joined by the curator, Joanna Espin, from the Postal Museum in London. Did you know that the postal service was the first social network? The Postal Museum reveals the fascinating stories about how we've shared information for the past 5 centuries.
The Postal Museum is supported by the Postal Heritage Trust, an independent charity created to protect and share this rich history.
