William Orr: The blind postman who delivered a first-class service By Eimear Flanagan image copyrightBallymoney Museum image captionThe leather satchel William Orr used to deliver mail to Balnamore Mill is on display in Ballymoney Museum In the 1920s, postman William Orr walked for miles every day along rural roads to deliver mail, despite the fact that he was registered as blind. He was employed as a postal worker at Balnamore Mill in County Antrim. Despite his visual impairment, he regularly carried mail between the mill and the nearest town, Ballymoney, a journey of about two-and-a-half miles. His life and livelihood is now being studied as part of a UK-wide history project, involving the Postal Museum in London and four English universities.
