'Mail by Rail' Exhibition at the Ribble Steam Railway

We recently visited the Ribble Steam Railway, Preston to view the ‘Mail by Rail’ exhibition that has been launched. Put together by the Association of British Philatelic Societies The 'Mail by Rail' Exhibition which was previously on show in Crewe features stamps, first day covers, letters and postcards with railway themes.  

The displays also features how the railways carried letters overnight to many parts of the country and how people used this service. One such letter featured is addressed to Harold MacMillan before he became Prime Minister.
