 विश्व का सबसे पुराना डाकघर !!!! - worlds oldest post office

इतिहास :-
विश्व के सबसे पुराने डाकघर का इतिहास इतना साफ़ नहीं है क्यकि सन 1700 में कई डाकघर स्थापित हुए थे। फिर भी विश्व के सबसे पुराने डाकघर का श्रेय ब्रिटिश पोस्टल म्यूज़ीयम को जाता है जोकि स्कॉटलैंड के सँकुहर शहर की हाई स्ट्रीट पर है। यह डाकघर सन 1712 में स्थापित हुआ था।

परिचय :-
इस डाकघर का नाम गिनीज़ बुक में विश्व के सबसे पुराने डाकघर के रूप में दर्ज है। जब यह डाकघर खुला था तो तब पोस्टमैन को रनर कहा जाता था जो अफसरों को पत्र और पार्सल वितरित करता था सन 1738 में इस डाकघर में पत्रों के वितरण के लिए घोड़ों का प्रयोग किया जाने लगा। इस डाकघर का नवीनीकरण 1974 में किया गया और इस डाकघर में स्टम्पिंग मशीने लगायी गईं।

वर्तमान में :-
व्यवसाय में हानि और अनियमतताओं की वजह से इस डाकघर को सेल के लिए रखा गया। यह डाकघर बिलकुल बंद ही बंद होने वाला था। फिर भी सन 2015 में नए पोस्टमॉस्टर मंज़ूर आलम ने इसको संभाला और इसकी मरम्मत की।नए पोस्टमॉस्टर की योजना इस डाकघर को पोस्टल म्यूजियम बनाने की है। अगर पोस्टल म्यूजियम खुला तो यह स्कॉटलैंड का प्रथम पोस्टल म्यूजियम होगा
