The Postal Museum

Description

Before the days of inboxes and text messages, people had to wait for a mailman to deliver their news. With tickets to the Postal Museum, you can step back in time and uncover the fascinating story of the postal system. Discover everything from five-wheeled cycles to rockets and an escaped lioness—this museum has it all! Witness a restored mail coach that once thundered across the country, and get up close to the world's only sheet of Penny Black stamps. Send anonymous messages through pneumatic tubes and explore a treasure trove of forgotten letters recovered from a maritime mishap. Don't miss the Mail Rail, a 100-year-old network of underground tunnels, now open to the public for a 15-minute miniature train ride. Forget what you think you know about the post and prepare for some surprises!
