Bath Postal Museum, Independent postal museum in central Bath, United Kingdom.
The Bath Postal Museum exhibits postal artifacts, including letters, stamps, post boxes, mail coaches, and a reconstructed Victorian post office from different periods.
Founded in 1979 by Audrey and Harold Swindells, the museum started in their house basement before moving to the former Bath Post Office building.
The museum documents the evolution of British communication through exhibits about Ralph Allen, John Palmer, and Thomas Moore Musgrave's contributions to postal services.
Located at Northgate Street, the museum contains educational programs and workshops that teach visitors about letter writing and stamp collecting activities.
This building marks the location where the first Penny Black stamp was recorded and posted on May 2, 1840, marking a milestone in postal history.
