Overview

This superb audio CD contains highlights from a collaborative oral history project originally commissioned by Royal Mail Group, and carried out with The National Life Story Collection at The British Library. It features contributions from a wide variety of postal workers past and present including counter staff, mail sorters, a former Postmaster General and of course, postmen.

Covering 60 years of postal history from the 1930s to the 1990s, it provides a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes to see how the job was done. The contributions are lively and informative, vividly conjuring up the way we used to work.

The CD booklet also contains detailed track listings and reproductions of photographs from The Royal Mail Archive.
