Overview

This beautifully illustrated 30 page guide reveals the surprising breadth of the museum collection at the BPMA. From pillar boxes and postal vehicles to medals and uniforms, the guide highlights some of the key objects in the collection.

It features objects on display at the Museum Store including Rowland Hill's desk, a pneumatic rail car and an Edward VIII pillar box, but also some that currently have restricted access including weapons carried on mail coaches, items for the prints and paintings collection, postcards and greetings cards.

Accompanied by a brief informative history the guide is of interest to both the postal history enthusiast and anyone with a general interest in the collection.
