While visiting Norwich, I spotted a small blue plaque declaring it the birthplace of the modern postcode - a curious claim that led me to uncover a fascinating piece of postal history too good not to share.
"The written word survives longer than the spoken word - the earliest examples are thousands of years old - so it offered the chance for me to 'leave my mark'. The chance to say, "I was here"."
"Isn’t there something unique about connecting with someone you’ve never met? I saw pen pals in movies growing up and this club seemed like a great way to get back into letter writing again. Plus, you and this stranger will probably never meet, so it provides you with a certain freedom that you might not get with people you know."
