Stamp of the Month
Hear this page read aloud
Stamp of the month was a project that we ran in 2006 and 2007. Most months, we identified stamps in our collections which echoed the theme of the latest stamp released by Royal Mail. The topics that were covered are listed below.
'Special' stamps really took off in the 1960s providing us with some 40 years of previous issues to look through and find great designs from the past.
Some of the future issues for 2007 are listed below, with their date of issue.
