Postal Reforms Prompt Faster Mails Across Great Britain
General Post Office outlines a plan dated March 7 1796 to streamline mail delivery. Letters to all parts of Britain and Ireland must arrive at receiving houses by five and at the office by seven to avoid dual deliveries and inconsistent evening mail dispatch. The scheme aims for regular departures around nine and ten in the morning, with noon arrivals for distant destinations, and requires newspapers to be posted by six. A long list of routes and inns associated with mail coaches and stage locations follows, detailing the path of various letters through Norwich Yarmouth Manchester Liverpool Bath Bristol Birmingham and many other hubs via Swan with Two Necks and other staging points.
