Commemorating the opening of the Ulster Parliament Buildings
Today John is sharing some of the exhibits here marking the ongoing NI 100 centenary programme, which the whole of the UK’s postal service has been celebrating.
During April and May, here and in England, Wales and Scotland, there has been a special hand-stamp (the inked postmark on envelopes, sometimes called ‘franking’) marking the centenary with the slogan ‘Our Story in the Making - Northern Ireland Beyond 100’.
Along with the commemorative post-mark, the postage stamps and cards in the centenary display mostly depict “local places, people and events” John explained.
Little or nothing has been omitted from the vast range of local themes and topics included.
