Starting in 1840 and at its peak during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, Central London received up to 12 deliveries a day. Postmen made rounds roughly every hour, with the first deliveries starting around 7:30 a.m. and the last in the evening around 7:30 p.m.. This allowed residents to exchange multiple handwritten letters across the city in a single day!
In 2004, the evening postal service was made redundant.
🤣 Surprised there isn’t some gentleman’s accessory!!!
