A unique view of rules, regulations and punishments handed out to early postal workers in Furness is provided by a group of ledgers which are among the newest arrivals at Cumbria Archives.

The books are now at the Barrow Archive and Local Studies Library after being catalogued by archivist Susan Benson.

They cover a period from the 1870s to at least 1959 and deal with everything from the siting and condition of post boxes to the opening of new sub-post offices.
