27 Northgate Street, BATH, BA1 1AJ

Write a review

The first letter sent with a stamp was sent from Bath, and this museum helps you to discover how 18th-century Bath influenced and developed the Postal System, including the story of the Penny Post. Visitors can explore the history of written communication from ancient Egyptian clay tablets, to the first Airmail flight from Bath to London in 1912. See the Victorian Post Office and watch continuous video films including the in-house production entitled 'History of Writing'. The museum is full of hands-on and interactive features to engage the whole family.
