"The warehouse is basically a giant shed housing thousands of postal artefacts, ranging from small buttons to entire lorries, almost all in the familiar Royal Mail red."
"The roughly hour-long tour will show you the earliest sorting boxes, including those designed to fit into railway carriages for sorting on the move, through to the long parade of pillar post boxes."
"Posties need to get around, and the warehouse has everything from a rack of bikes to rows of motorbikes and a load of customised vans, a Range Rover, and even an experimental quad-bike for use in the Scottish highlands."
"The tours will take place at 10:30am and 2pm on Thur 18th June, Sat 25th July, Thur 13th Aug, and Sat 19th Sept."
The Postal Museum has scheduled additional tours of its Debden warehouse, which contains thousands of postal artefacts. The hour-long tour features sorting boxes, pillar post boxes, and various postal vehicles. Visitors will learn about the history of the Royal Mail and the significance of the classic circular pillar box. The tours are available on specific dates, with tickets priced at £15. Attendees are advised to wear suitable clothing for an unheated warehouse environment.
