 The Museum's aim is to protect and preserve
British Postal Heritage material.
 _________________
There are nearly 200 UK post boxes of many styles
and a number of foreign models on display at the Museum site.

In addition to postboxes, the collection has a varied selection of other postal ephemera including Post Office trolleys, sorting frames, bicycles and administrative paperwork.
 
There are also various toys and  novelty items.
 
The Museum is a private hobby and project but is open to the public, by prior arrangement.
 
We are always happy to have visitors but to avoid disappointment, please contact us before you come to see the collection, as we have 'day jobs' and may not be available.

 
The collection started almost by accident when Arthur Reeder acquired a badly damaged wooden wallbox which had been scrapped.  He took it home and restored it to an 'as new' condition.  Things have gone steadily downhill ever since!
