Linking with the programme of events to commemorate the 175th Anniversary of the introduction of the Penny Post, the Society’s next event is on Tuesday at 7.30pm in the Museum of Carpet, Green Street.
Chris Jackson, Chairman of the Midland Postal Historical Group, will give an illustrated talk on Postal Reforms from 1800 to 1860, including the launch in 1840 of the Penny Post by Kidderminster born Sir Rowland Hill.
There will be a small charge to include light refreshments; non members of the society are welcome.
