According to the BBC , more than 900 sub-postmasters were prosecuted because of incorrect information from the Horizon computer system. The scandal, which began in 1999 with the introduction of Horizon to post offices, began receiving renewed public attention following the 2024 ITV drama, Mr Bates vs The Post Office. Twelve sub-postmasters met with representatives from the Postal Museum earlier this week to discuss the project. Many referenced a desire to work with The Postal Museum to create a lasting legacy for the scandal,” says a statement. Laura Wright, the chief executive of the Postal Museum, adds: “As an independent museum created to share the history of the post in Britain, stories of postal workers have always been essential to us.
