Sir Rowland Hill — a photograph with Hill’s signature

A man of our town, a revolutionary that spilt no blood and benefitted every man in his own lifetime, up to the present day and forever in the future of humankind. A teacher at 14, an inventor and an enlightened public servant.

Amazon, DPD, Evri and DHL may be titans in today’s world, but their operations are based on this mans concept for simple affordable national postal system.

Internationally which were the next countries to adopt this effective system invented by a Kidderminster man?
