The Jersey Penny Post

Exhibitor: David Winnie
Within the Channel Islands, only Jersey was to introduce a Penny Post system but it was only in use for a short period of time. With the setting up in Jersey in the 1830s, a new two-line boxed handstamp "Jersey/Penny Post" was introduced and boxed handstamps No's 1-4 were allocated to St. Aubin, Gorey, St Peter's and St. Clements respectively. Penny Post items from the latter 3 offices are extremely scarce but covers from all 4 offices are shown.

Moveable Box Mail under the Anglo-French Postal Conventions

Exhibitor: Doug McGill
Tells the story of one of the key provisions of the Anglo-French Conventions of 1843 and 1857 – the Concept of the maritime moveable box – the use of private vessels to carry mail posted on board or at the dockside, such mail being cancelled at the destination port, resulting in GB stamps cancelled in France and vice-versa.
