The London Postal History Group was established for the study and promotion of all aspects of the postal history of London. The postal system of the United Kingdom heralded many 'firsts' and London was at the centre of the revolution. The changes in London's postal system tell the story of social history and the industrial revolution. From Bishop Marks to Mechanisation, via Duplex's, Pearson Hill, Squared Circles and Slogans. The London Postal History Group provides a home for all London postmark collectors. |
