"Delivering smiles and surprises, one parcel at a time. 📦✨" Step back in time with the Penny Farthing Post, where postmen on Pennyfarthings brought parcels to your doorstep. Even the Taiwanese snowman couldn't resist receiving a special package from afar. Traveling through history, we stumble upon the Great Western Railway Horse Drawn Delivery Van, c1910 - a true symbol of efficient parcel transportation. During WW1, Wrights Coal Tar Soap advertisement reminded us that even amidst chaos, cleanliness was essential - and what better way than with a conveniently delivered parcel? The Music Hall Song about parcels had everyone tapping their feet and dreaming of exciting deliveries. Watch out for the cheerful postman with his trusty parcel in hand - he's always ready to bring joy to your doorsteps. In France during Christmas 1913, a French parcel delivery man made sure no gift went undelivered. The spirit of giving was alive and well. Pedaling through busy streets on their Parcel Delivery Tricycle, these dedicated couriers ensured timely deliveries all around town. Addressing a Parcel may seem like an ordinary task but it holds endless possibilities for surprise and delight once it reaches its destination. A heartfelt postcard from WW1 reminds us of Le Paquet de L'Orphelin's benefits - providing comfort to those affected by war through carefully curated parcels. Stepping into the Victorian period Post Office Parcel Sorting Room takes us back in time when meticulous organization ensured every package found its rightful place.
