Laleston

Post office

In 1654, military and political leader Oliver Cromwell granted a monopoly to the Office of Postage over the postal delivery services in England. Three years later, fixed postal rates were launched. The General Post Office was established by Charles II in 1660, marking the official launch of the service.
