Local delivery

Delivery matters Delivery from the office of posting How long did deliveries take? Back to main narrative


Items of pneumatic mail are found with the same cancel for despatch and arrival. These would have handed in at the office, or more likely been posted in a red letter box, to take advantage of the speedy delivery service and if appropriate the "wait 5 minutes for a reply". Quite often, they were never folded.
