Pandan Wood Islet releases two pairs of stamps picturing ancient woodlands

Although I’ve been involved in the local post scene for well over two decades creating my Philosateleian Post stamps, and collected stamps picturing natural landscapes for a long time, too, it’s always a treat when those two interests converge, and that’s the case with four stamps recently issued by England’s Pandan Wood Islet local post.

The 1st- and 2nd-class stamps issued September 11, 2025, feature woodland scenes.

According to Wickford Community Archive, Pandan Wood was located on Gifford’s Farm near the Hamlet of Peasdown in Essex, England. The area was submerged in the 1950s by the creation of Hanningfield Reservoir.
