Hi Gill I visited the Post Office Heritage Centre in London to find out more about a 'Postman' ancestor. The staff were really friendly and helpful. They went to a lot of trouble to get me copies of my ancestor's work records and only charged me about £1.50 for copies of everything! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!
