About
Housed in the gardens of a large suburban house in the pleasant Essex town of Halstead, the collection has been built up over a number of years by one man and now comprises 165 ex-British Post Office and Overseas Postal Administration letter boxes together with 25 Stamp Vending Machines, documents, bicycles, uniforms and associated artefacts. The museum houses the second-largest private collection of Post Boxes in the UK and is an invaluable resource for teaching and historical research. In addition, the Museum is also home to the National AA Village Signs collection, comprising more than 60 of these iconic round village name signs from across the UK - the largest display of these anywhere. Two buildings are set up to show a rural post office of the 1940s/50s and 1980/90s. Kids can try on uniform, work the machines and post their own letters - lots of hands on experiences! At least one vintage Mailvan will be in attendance.
