Sadly, we have had to say goodbye to the following Postal Services in recent years.

Post Did not operate in
Blackwater 2007
Kelvedon & Feering 2007
Silver End 2007
   

On a brighter note, the following new (or revived) posts have been mentioned on the Internet or elsewhere and supplies are being sought and will be distributed if and when they become available. I would be delighted to hear from anyone involved with any of these posts with a view to updating my catalogue as well as purchasing supplies of stamps & covers.

(**) indicates that samples have been acquired and will be / have been distributed.

Making contact with these postal services is surprisingly difficult and any assistance would be welcomed with open arms.
