First Stories from the Post Office and more Linen Workers
Thank you to all those who took part in last week's Forgotten Women Friday , when we researched women who worked for the Post Office. Some lovely stories are starting to come in.

The first stories are those for Caroline Emma Chester, Caroline Henrietta Kelsey, Jane Large, Kate Redfern and Martha Walter. We have also received some shorter stories that will be uploaded later.
