Armitt Talk Series: Cumbrian Postal Paths with Alan Cleaver

Author Alan Cleaver re-discovers the routes walked by the rural postmen and women of the 19th and 20th Centuries (the Post Office stopped walking routes in the 1970s). These routes were walked (and sometimes cycled) six days a week in all weathers and could be up to 25 miles long.

Alan looks at the remarkable people who served their communities delivering letters and parcels - and the legacy they have left behind.
