A
privately owned Postal History Museum in the heart of East Anglia. The
collection has been built up over a number of years by one man and now
comprises 110 ex-British Post Office letter boxes together with 25
Stamp Vending Machines, documents, 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. Regular public open days are held each year, but otherwise
there is no general public access other than by prior arrangement with
the Curator. Visitors are welcome by prior arrangement at any
reasonable time. Contact us at the address above.
Use the
navigation menu at the top of
this page to explore our collection, learn about the history of our
boxes and see what the Museum has to offer.

The
covered accomodation seen here
in 2006 provides secure dry storage for
small artefacts, stamps documents and wooden post boxes. Outside you
can see an array of Victorian wall boxes including a 2nd National
Standard with Pedimented top. The blue covered thing is a telegraph
pole, now erected and decorated!
