Come along on Sunday 11th October to visit the Postal Museum and ride the 'Mail Rail'. **About the museum** Based near the sorting office at Mount Pleasant in Clerkenwell, the Postal Museum, or Post Office Museum, charts over 500 years of the postal service in England from the time when King Henry VIII first came up with the idea of private delivery boys to the present day. The museum opened in 2017 and amongst the exhibits on display is the 'Penny Black' stamp, the world's first postage stamp, to cryptic Victorian Valentine cards. The museum also includes cars, bicycles, uniforms and posters from the 1930's.
