TS-520 - Rowland Hill Fund
DS "Penny Red"
In the AUGUST 2016 edition of the British Philatelic Bulletin there was
an article informing its readers of a Penny Red Smilers sheet special
offer exclusive to the BPB readers. Royal Mail produced a limited edition
personalised Smilers sheet based on the Penny Red sheet issued this year
to raise money for the Rowland Hill Fund, a charity set up in 1882 as a
memorial to the great postal reformer, and founder of the modern postal
service, Sir Rowland Hill, who retired as Secretary of the Post Office in
1864.
