The cost was high a postmen's visit was often unwelcome and many people didn't want to pay . in 1840 rowland hill suggested a postal reform according to which the one who sent a letter had to play a penny for it no matter how far the distance travelled thanks to rowland hill on may 6, 1840, the penny black the world's first postal stamp appeared . a penny black cost one penny and had a picture of queen victoria on it . it was the first stamp in the world and that is why there was no word "britain " on it . today british stamps do not have the country's name on them either and british people rely on the royal mail as much as they did on the post hundreds of years ago . if you want to learn more about the royal mail you can visit the british museum and archives in london or the postal museum in bath . they both tell you about the royal mail and its significant place in history . in the royal mail archives one can also find information on family members who worked in the postal service in the postal museum in bath you can see working machines a life-size victorian post office and a children's activities room.без переводчика нужно сегодня
