Exhibition - Lions, Leopards, Unicorns and Dragons: The first Regional stamps

From Tuesday 6 May 2008 until April 2009

In August and September 1958, the first British Regional stamps were issued. Heraldic and floral emblems were used to distinguish stamps for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and also for the islands of Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man.

This exhibition follows their creation and development from original artwork and unadopted designs through to the final issue, and offers an opportunity to view unique items from the BPMA's extensive philatelic colection.
 
Please note that the BPMA will be closed to the public for stocktaking from Monday 8 - Friday 19 December 2008.
