Postal Museum

Located near the misleadingly named Mount Pleasant sorting office, The Postal Museum houses a surprisingly wide ranging collection of artefacts.

It is particularly geared towards families, with lots of interactive exhibits for children.

The ticket includes a ride on the Mail Rail, which I thought made it reasonably good value.

The pithily named Mail Rail is a tiny undergound railway built in the 1920s to transport, well, mail.

Only a small part of it is rideable, with tours lasting 15 minutes, including stops to watch short films about the history of the system.

I thought it was good fun and well done, some of the children on the ride weren’t fans of the noise and slightly unnerving simulated power cut.
