Bath Postal Museum
Telling the story of the birth of the Postal Service is none other than the originator of the Mail Coach himself, John Palmer.
Post Office Museum Bath
Bath Postal Museum was founded in 1979 by Audrey and Harold Swindells and was originally situated in the basement of their house at 51 Great Pulteney Street. The museum was a success from the word go and got a favourable mention in the Sunday Times Good Museum Guide in its first year. However, by 1984 the original premises had become rather overcrowded when a wonderful opportunity arose the entire building at 8 Broad Street became vacant. This was the site of Bath's main Post Office from 1822 to 1854: the very place where the first recorded posting of a Penny Black took place on 2 May 1840 four days ahead of the official date! The building belonged to Bath City Council who kindly granted a subsidised lease to the museum. After much fundraising, the ground floor display was opened at the end of 1985 by celebrity Friends Richard Briers and Leslie Crowther; the Queen Mother sent a greeting by pigeon!

Bath is a town set in the rolling countryside of southwest England, known for its natural hot springs and 18th-century Georgian architecture. Honey-coloured Bath stone has been used extensively in the town’s architecture, including at Bath Abbey, noted for its fan-vaulting, tower and large stained-glass windows. The museum at the site of the original Roman-era Baths includes The Great Bath, statues and a temple.
Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles (156 km) west of London and 11 miles (18 km) south-east of Bristol. The city became a World Heritage Site in 1987. Bath became part of the county of Avon in 1974, and, following Avon's abolition in 1996, has been the principal centre of Bath and North East Somerset.
The city of Bath became a spa with the Latin name Aquæ Sulis (the waters of Sulis) c. AD 60 when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon, although hot springs were known even before then. Bath Abbey was founded in the 7th century and became a religious centre; the building was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, claims were made for the curative properties of water from the springs, and Bath became popular as a spa town in the Georgian era. Georgian architecture, crafted from Bath stone, includes the Royal Crescent, Circus, Pump Room, and Assembly Rooms where Beau Nash presided over the city's social life from 1705 until his death in 1761. Many of the streets and squares were laid out by John Wood, the Elder, and in the 18th century the city became fashionable and the population grew. Jane Austen lived in Bath in the early 19th century. Further building was undertaken in the 19th century and following the Bath Blitz in World War II.
The city has software, publishing and service-oriented industries. Theatres, museums, and other cultural and sporting venues have helped make it a major centre for tourism with more than one million staying visitors and 3.8 million day visitors to the city each year. There are several museums including the Museum of Bath Architecture, Victoria Art Gallery, Museum of East Asian Art, and the Holburne Museum. The city has two universities: the University of Bath and Bath Spa University, with Bath College providing further education. Sporting clubs include Bath Rugby and Bath City F.C. while TeamBath is the umbrella name for all of the University of Bath sports teams.
