About this Pub
This pub opened on: 29 Feb 2000
Type: JD Wetherspoon
Pub History

The modern postal system was born when Rowland Hill introduced his famous Penny Black postage stamp, in 1840.

Posting a letter was made much easier after the introduction of the Penny Black, the world's first pre-paid postage stamp. This was the beginning of Rowland Hill's postal reforms, which established the modern postal service. Today, a larger-than-life statue of Kidderminster's most famous son stands outside the town hall, a short walk from this pub. He is also recalled by the Rowland Hill Shopping Centre.
