Children learnt about the war efforts of women on Saturday, including Britain's first female postie who lived in Epsom.
Nora Willis was the first woman to sign up to deliver mail in Britain when the Great War broke out and men were sent to the front in 1914.
On Saturday Bourne Hall Museum’s kids club learned how thousands of women like her took on traditionally male roles during the war.

Museum Assistant David Brooks, who runs the club at Bourne Hall Museum in Ewell, said: "Nora the first lady "postman" was the chief topic of conversation among local townsfolk, and many felt it was a pleasure to have mail given to them by a ‘fairer’ hand.
"Nora in 1928 was elected Epsom and Ewell’s first woman councillor, serving for Stamford Ward. She resigned in 1940 after a fall in Epsom High Street."
